Synopsis:
In the gritty heart of the city, fear and danger lurk in the shadows. Billy, known in the underworld as Shogun, is an undercover detective with an unblemished record of capturing his targets. Feared by criminals and revered by his peers, Shogun is assigned a harrowing case that shakes the community to its core-a teenage boy is found dead in a parking lot, the victim of a drug overdose. As the bodies pile up, all threads lead to the notorious Onyx Bar, a hotspot for the city's most illicit activities.
Amidst the bar's seedy atmosphere, Base, also known as the Night Fairy, captivates audiences as a mesmerizing pole dancer. But Base's life is far from glamorous; indebted to Madam, the bar's ruthless owner, he endures physical abuse and exploitation. Madam, known for her iron fist, forces Base into unspeakable situations, pimping him out to wealthy, unscrupulous clients.
One fateful night, Base's defiance leads to a brutal punishment. Refusing to sleep with a particularly vile customer, he is beaten mercilessly and discarded onto the cold, unforgiving streets. It is there, in his most vulnerable state, that he crosses paths with Shogun.
Shogun, hardened by his duty but touched by Base's plight, takes him in, tending to his wounds and offering a glimmer of hope. As Base recovers, the two form an unexpected bond, one built on trust and a shared determination to bring down the criminal empire responsible for so much suffering.
Together, they navigate a perilous journey through deception, betrayal, and danger. As Shogun delves deeper into the drug trafficking case, he discovers the intricate web of corruption that ties the city's elite to the underground world. Meanwhile, Base, with Shogun's support, finds the courage to confront his past and stand up against his oppressors.
