In a barangay in Pikit, Cotabato, Rasul and Roseller are exposed to myriads of armed men and even children their age who are members of a rebel group. At seven, Rasul is encouraged to join their group, starts training, and learns to fight for the group’s ideology.

After five years, Rasul is about to become a commander. But his mother suddenly appears to offer him and his brother a better life.
