Risa Hontiveros, a loyal lieutenant tasked with interrogating Alice Guo, a Chinese national accused of espionage against the Philippines. As Risa follows orders to extract information from Alice, she finds herself torn between duty and a growing connection with the woman she's supposed to consider the enemy.
As their conversations shift from hostile to intimate, Risa begins questioning the morality of her mission, wondering if Alice is truly guilty or just another pawn in a larger political game. When the senator orders Alice's execution, Risa is assigned to escort her to a high-security facility, knowing Alice's fate is sealed.
In their final moments together, Alice leaves Risa with a heart-wrenching promise: "I'll always be right by your side. Even if I'm your enemy."
The story ends with Risa left shattered, facing the impossible choice between loyalty to her country and the forbidden love she feels for someone branded as a traitor.
