In the shadow of covert missions and fractured loyalties, four agents find themselves caught in the crossfire of emotion and duty.
Jett, fierce and untamed, learns that strength doesn't mean solitude. Phoenix, a flame that never dies, discovers that love requires more than bravado. Iso, the silent tactician, unlearns his detachment through the quiet persistence of Clove, whose warmth defies his every defense.
As the Valorant Protocol faces off against the Scions of Hourglass, old ghosts rise, Brimstone's buried grief, Iso's haunted past, and the fragile threads binding the team together.
Friendship and romance intertwine in the heat of battle: explosions, betrayal, and the uneasy alliance between heart and mission.
In the ashes of Venice, they emerge changed - Phoenix and Jett finding their truth in the calm after chaos, Iso and Clove discovering what it means to feel alive together, and Brimstone finally forgiving himself for a wound years old.
It ends not with war, but with laughter - the team gathered under midnight skies, smoke from a rooftop barbecue drifting upward like a prayer for peace.
"Even the fiercest winds need something to come home to."
