Synopsis:

In a world perpetually shadowed by conflict, Jonathan "Jonah" Mar carries a deep-seated aversion to violence. His life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes a bodyguard for Koko Hekmatyar, a controversial international arms dealer driven by a fervent belief in achieving global peace through unconventional means.

Alongside a team of seasoned operatives, Jonah navigates a dangerous landscape as they traverse the globe, operating the clandestine HCLI shipping company. Their work consistently puts them at odds with international law enforcement and powerful factions who seek to disrupt Koko’s operations. The series explores themes of morality in warfare, the complexities of idealism, and the difficult choices individuals must make when confronted with global power dynamics. It offers a character-driven narrative focused on the bonds formed between those protecting a seemingly impossible dream amidst constant threat.
