Synopsis

The story revolves around Michelle, an assassin who navigates the challenges of battling DNA Hackers, individuals who utilize their skills to gain unauthorized access to people's bodies with fatal outcomes. Alongside her personal struggles with past demons, Michelle also bears the responsibility of keeping her younger brother, Jackie, from falling prey to trouble. Unfortunately, Jackie becomes involved in a robbery, propelling him into a dark world of underground trades that involves DNA Hackers, Loan Sharks, and Gang Fights. Despite Michelle's efforts of coercion that discourage him to refrain from such vices, Jackie's desire for respect leads him deeper into the dangerous world. Michelle, on the other hand, has always desired a peaceful existence away from the city. As the siblings face multiple challenges, including gunfights, they must navigate their way through an immoral world while holding on to the hope that love can conquer all and that family bonds are unbreakable.
