Starring Hairul Azreen as Lieutenant Commander Arman Anuar, as he deals with trials and tribulations of being in one of the country's elite forces, the PASKAL (Pasukan Khas Laut). After a peacekeeping mission in Angola that results in one of his closest teammate dead and another dishonorably discharged, he is about to request for a transfer when he is needed one last time for a very dangerous mission - made worse by the return of a rival, and things soon turn personal. This movie also stars Tiger Chen Hu (John Wick 3, The Matrix Reloaded, Man of Tai Chi) as Chinese U.N Sgt Chen Han during mission in Angola.
