Synopsis:

In a near-future metropolis, crime is not deterred by traditional policing; instead, it's met by a unique brand of public heroism. This film explores the complex dynamic between a seasoned, pragmatic protector and his idealistic, newly recruited partner within a highly publicized superhero team. The narrative delves into the challenges of maintaining public trust and navigating the blurred lines between performance and genuine altruism in a world captivated by spectacle.

The story unfolds against a backdrop of gleaming skyscrapers and vibrant urban life, subtly hinting at underlying social tensions. Characters grapple with personal sacrifices and the weight of responsibility as they strive to uphold an image of unwavering justice. The film offers a thoughtful examination of heroism, media manipulation, and the human cost of maintaining order in a society increasingly reliant on carefully constructed narratives.
