But in their hearts, the desire for justice is overwhelming, resulting in these two brothers embarking on a journey in search of justice for the death of their parents and discovering painful revelations about the real culprit and the motives behind this crime.
However, the search for truth becomes even more complex when their views on "Definitive Peace" diverge. While one of them wishes to maintain the current peace at the cost of lies, the other believes that the global conspiracy needs to be exposed and eradicated at any cost.
As they approach the climax of this long war in the shadows, facing dangerous events and situations, they find themselves facing an imminent confrontation with each other, with millions of lives at stake as they point the gun at each other.
