After receiving a text message, high school student Joseph sneaks out of class to take care of some risky business in a local neighborhood.

When Joseph's name appears on a suspects list kept by the police as part of a government crackdown on drug offenders, his Uncle Camilo takes action.

When Joseph spots a fellow gang member in suspicious company, he secretly follows him and witnesses a horrifying betrayal.

In the middle of the night, Joseph sneaks out of his family's home to join his gang in seeking revenge against the traitor in their midst.

While visiting his sister in Manila, Joseph has another run-in with the law. His brother-in-law pulls some strings but makes his wife suspicious.

As the extent of his double life unfolds, brother-in-law Bino introduces Joseph to the world of high-end party drugs.

Joseph enjoys his increased income, but the glamour of his new job is soon tarnished by a TV news report and an undercover operation.

Bino tries to help Joseph and gang mate Tisoy cover their tracks. But the police are hot on their heels and determined to catch them, dead or alive.

Police officer Rod joins colleague Camilo on a mission to capture a Japanese drug lord, using sex worker Christina as their undercover asset.

When the press start asking questions about an alleged kidnapping of a Japanese national, Camilo and Rod are ordered to cover their tracks.

Rod gets greedy and insists on going after the additional money they were promised, unaware Takeo's wife is working with a different police unit.

Camilo goes into hiding and calls his boss, begging for help. Meanwhile, a witness comes forward and spills details of the kidnapping on a radio show.
