My Only Hope tells the story of nine young individuals who are faced with crucial decisions in their lives. Keeno (Gerald Anderson) takes his girlfriend Jessie (Niña Jose) and her brother Arnold (Carlo Guevara) to the hotel owned by his family in Boracay. Keeno is running away from the suffocating environment of home, while Jessie is haunted by guilt because of an accident she had after going on a joy ride with Keeno. Meanwhile, April (Kim Chiu) wins a free trip to and hotel accommodations in Boracay on her birthday and takes her brother August (David Chua) and friends Jhun (Enchong Dee) and Yang (Regine Angeles) with her. While still grieving over the unjust death of her father, April is also trying to define her friendship with Jhun whom she is beginning to fall for. By chance, April and Keeno are forced to attend a party together one night. Just when these two people from different worlds start to find some common ground, Jessie’s guilt pushes her over the edge and cuts short their budding relationship.

The following cast are:

  • Kim Chiu as April Padilla (Ms. Sunshine) - Her birthday happens to land on April Fool's Day and is supposedly her very own special time of the year but it sadly reminds her of her father's death anniversary as well. Despite of the unfortunate events that have happened to her and her family, she keeps a positive instinct, which makes her happy.
  • Gerald Anderson as Joaquin "Keeno" Alejandro (Emo Prince) - As the proverbial black sheep in his affluent family, he is often misunderstood because of his reckless attitude towards life. But his typical brooding mood is simply his defense mechanism against the constant disapproval of his father on him.
  • Enchong Dee as Juanito "Jhun" Dimaano Jr. (The Boy Next Door) - As April's one and only best friend, he has sworn to her parents before that he will take good care of her. They both have romantic feelings for each other but Jhun continues to suppress his emotions out of his desire to become a self-made man first.
  • Niña Jose as Jessie Singson/Ashley Singson (The Scarred Beauty) - She is the emo girlfriend of Keeno whose pessimism becomes worse after a traumatic hit and run accident which has scarred not only her face but also her whole disposition. Her guilt has eventually led to her violent death during her and Keeno's trip in Boracay. On the other side of the character, Ashley is the twin sister of Jessie who suddenly falls in love of Jhun.
  • Regine Angeles as Maria Angela "Yang" Gonzales (Your Royal Highness) - She is a devoted girlfriend of August and almost like a sister (or even a mother) to April. Her stubborn will to work for all three of them later results to a big fight between her and August.
  • Alex Gonzaga as Cefelita "Fifi" Madrigal (The Yoga Diva) - She works as a master healer in the health and wellness center owned by the Alejandros. Though she is persistently courted by the rich and dashing Rick, she remains indifferent to him because she is already in love with someone else.
  • Xian Lim as Enrico "Rick" Alejandro (The O.C. kuya) - With his inherent eye for business, he has always been the favorite son in the family. He never fails to accomplish his father's wishes contrary to Keeno who has often let him down. Fifi turns out to be his love interest.
  • Carlo Guevarra as Arnold Singson (The Lover Boy) - Being the youngest child in a brood of three has somehow made him more carefree than her sisters. Lots of fun, parties, and girls are his top priorities. He will eventually meet a ledge dancer whom he'll fall in love with.
  • David Chua as August Padilla (The Mama's Boy) - Because he's the one who'll be able to finish his studies first, April decides to stop schooling and find a means of living for the two of them. He also relies on his girlfriend to provide their other financial needs.
