When a meticulously planned series of arson attacks devastate the city, he is thrust into a chaotic race against time. The crisis intensifies as his estranged younger brother, a talented hacker who drifted into criminal circles, becomes entangled with a shadowy syndicate suspected of masterminding the destruction. Amid smoke-filled skyscrapers and dangerous back-alleys, the firefighter confronts not only infernos but also his own guilt for letting his brother stray so far from their shared childhood dreams.
As he races from one rescue to the next, he forms an uneasy alliance with an elite counter-terrorism agent determined to uncover the syndicate's true objective. Their investigation reveals a complex web linking the fires to a wider plot threatening thousands of innocent lives. While the city teeters on the brink of panic and public trust wanes, loyalties are tested. The siblings must navigate shifting allegiances, relentless criminals, and their own fractured relationship in a desperate bid to avert disaster. With every second counted by the growing flames and syndicate moves, their choices will determine the fate of both their family and millions of people they have sworn to protect.
