[edit] Synopsis
Set largely in the dark and eerie campus of the Arts Academy, White Lady’s story centers on Pearl (Pauleen Luna), a simple and smart girl from the province who has just arrived in the city to study, and the clique of students led by Mimi (Iwa Moto), a pretty, rich and popular girl who gets by through bullying others. Mimi’s minions include basketball jock Joshua (Jason Abalos), painter and Mimi wannabe Eva (Katarina Perez), film and photography major Jowee (Glaiza De Castro), and troublemaker and band frontman Hector (Ketchup Eusebio).
Pearl enrolls in the Arts Academy with her best friend and longtime buddy Jonathan (Gian Carlo), who has a secret admiration for her. Upon their entry into school, Mimi takes Pearl and Jonathan into her fold, befriending them so as to get favors from the smart and studious Pearl. But Pearl sees right through her. Jonathan, on the other hand, is seduced and swayed by the glamour of the “in” crowd. Soon after, Pearl and Jonathan become estranged.
For reasons she cannot explain nor understand, Pearl is haunted by the ghost of a white lady said to be frequenting the school grounds. Intrigued and determined to solve the mystery, she decides to explore and hears about the story of Christina (Angelica Panganiban), a simple girl driven to hiding by Mimi’s pompousness. Pearl immediately feels an affinity towards Christina, being on the receiving end of Mimi’s pranks herself.
The haunting worsens when Pearl lands the highly-coveted lead role in the school play. She also receives the brunt of Mimi’s ire as Mimi had wanted the role for herself. Plus, Pearl develops a relationship with Robbie (JC De Vera), the rich, athletic and most popular boy in school, who Mimi desires.
In a series of intense ghostly appearances, the white lady manifests herself to the “in” group, letting them experience her wrath one by one. Pearl is caught in the middle of it all. Later on, she discovers a deadly and horrifying secret that connects her, her schoolmates and the white lady that terrorizes their school.
