PlotA driven and fearless vice-commissar, Belli, is stunned by the brutal assassination of his mentor and embarks on a relentless pursuit to uncover the truth behind the crime. Determined to dismantle the nefarious drug cartel responsible, Belli employs unorthodox and dangerous methods to gather evidence. His investigation intensifies as he follows leads that take him through the tangled web of corruption within the police force and beyond. While his aggressiveness earns him the respect of some colleagues, it also draws the ire of a powerful mob kingpin, intent on stopping him at any cost.
Belli's tenacity propels him headfirst into a series of violent confrontations, car chases, and deadly shootouts. As he navigates the treacherous terrain, he forges uneasy alliances and goes head-to-head with ruthless criminals who will stop at nothing to protect their empire. His commitment to justice puts his life and those of his loved ones in peril, escalating the stakes dramatically. With each step closer to unmasking the cartel's leader, Belli must confront not only external dangers but also his own moral boundaries and limitations.
