Synopsis:

In 2104, a fragile peace settles over a world recovering from devastating conflict. This uneasy tranquility is constantly threatened by the Black Orchid, a global criminal organization whose influence reaches into every corner of society. Responding to this pervasive danger, nations unite to form Storm Force, a specialized unit dedicated to dismantling the Black Orchid's network.

The series follows the members of Fire Storm as they navigate a complex world of espionage and high-stakes operations. It explores themes of global cooperation, the cost of peace, and the ethical dilemmas faced by those tasked with maintaining order. Expect a narrative focused on tactical problem-solving and character dynamics within a meticulously crafted futuristic setting, rather than grand spectacle.
