PlotAn anti-narcotics squad is dispatched to raid a drug den in the slums of Manila, aiming to capture a notorious drug lord. The team, led by a tenacious and determined officer, is confident and well-prepared. However, things quickly go awry when they discover that they have been set up. Trapped deep within enemy territory and realizing they've been double-crossed, the squad finds themselves under relentless attack from both the drug dealers and the local community, which has grown hostile due to years of neglect and abuse by the authorities.
As the night progresses, the squad must navigate through a labyrinth of narrow alleys and shanties, fending off brutal assaults from all sides. Trust within the team begins to fray as their numbers dwindle and the pressure mounts. They must use every ounce of their training and resourcefulness to survive, fighting wave after wave of adversaries. The team's primary focus shifts from completing their mission to simply making it out alive.
