Follow the journey of twins Ador and Cardo (both played by Coco Martin), who were estranged from each other by financial reasons even as they followed the path of being police officers.
Ador was a known CIDG Police Official, with a loving family as his support. Cardo, on the other hand, loves the solitude of the mountains as a SAF Trooper. Their lives take a turn when Ador gets himself entangled in a syndicate, which leaves him dead. To cover for this fact, Cardo was ordered to become his brother, family and all, and be re-united with his grandmother, whom he detested.
