Synopsis

Roman and Rex are both brothers and partners, robbing victims on the streets of Manila. Rex is the getaway driver of their old motorcycle and Roman is the duo’s “point man”. Young Rex’s gung-ho spirit often puts him at odds with the more cautious Roman. Both are regularly conned by Alba and Lucero, two corrupt cops with ties to a local drug syndicate. But Roman knows that paying them off is better than going to jail. The brothers are planning a robbery on a local construction site. But when the robbery goes sour, the brothers are forced to accept a job turning them from low-level thieves into hitmen.
