After years of hardship in the streets of Quiapo, Tanggol Dimaguiba has transformed his life, graduating from the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) and earning his place as a Lieutenant in the PNP. Now, as the leader of Task Force Wating, an elite unit dedicated to taking down organized crime, he is determined to clean the streets of the very corruption that took everything from him.
But the mission is far from easy. Ramon Montenegro, a powerful drug lord, rules the underworld with an iron fist, backed by his sexy and dangerous wife, Veronica, and their ruthless daughter, Olga. Their multi-million peso empire has corrupted officials, instilled fear, and turned Quiapo into a battleground.
As Tanggol and his task force-comprised of fierce and skilled operatives like Lt. Denise Hernandez, Lt. Sofia Navarro, Lt. Isabella Cruz, Lt. Maria Torres, Lt. Angela Reyes, Lt. Bianca Morales, and Lt. Erika Santos-go deep into the Montenegros' operations, they uncover a web of crime, betrayal, and power struggles that put their lives at risk.
Meanwhile, Tanggol's personal life is tested. His beautiful and devoted wife, Monica, and her equally stunning sister, Camille, live under the constant shadow of his dangerous profession. As the fight against the Montenegros escalates, the line between duty and family begins to blur.
With Greg Montenegro and David Montenegro enforcing the family's criminal empire, Tanggol must navigate a deadly game where one wrong move could cost him everything. As bullets fly and alliances shift, he must decide-how far is he willing to go to protect the city he once called home?
The streets of Quiapo are about to burn.
