Synopsis
[edit]Identical twins Black (Gun) and White (also Gun) share an emotional bond that is so strong that they feel each other’s pain. To lessen their bond, their parents divide them from each other in their early teenage years. After graduating from university abroad, White returns to Bangkok to follow in his father’s footsteps by preparing to become a diplomat. However, shortly after his arrival in Thailand, the bond to his twin makes itself known once more as White suffers excruciating pain when Black gets beaten into a coma. In order to find out who hurt his brother, White takes on his identity and infiltrates Black’s gang made up of political activists - a group of university students turned vigilantes, who put their life on the line for a fairer Thai society.
Increasingly, White finds himself questioning his own complicity in the conservative and unjust dynamics surrounding him. Along the way, his teammate, and Black’s rival, Sean (Off) goes from suspecting “Black’s" sudden empathy and level-headedness to falling in love with this new version of him. With imprisonment and death a constant threat on their lives, White finds himself sparking a wide-spread uprising against capitalistic greed, corruption and civil rights infringements.
