In crime-ridden Chicago, a grief-stricken chemistry prodigy devises a dangerous plan to take revenge on the mob responsible for his father’s death. As his power and influence grow, his sense of justice begins to erode — forcing him to choose whether to be a savior, a god, or a monster.

SYNOPSIS:

Kyle Owens, a brilliant yet emotionally scarred chemist, seeks justice after his father — a righteous cop betrayed by corruption, is murdered. Using his scientific skills, Kyle infiltrates the city’s criminal underworld, and those who cross his path face the consequences of his calculated actions.

Jason Marello, a former officer turned underground kingpin, emerges as a formidable adversary, embodying the seductive power and moral compromise Kyle risks embracing. Alongside Kyle, the story explores love, loyalty, and betrayal, including the tragic death of his half-brother, which marks the point of no return.

In a climactic confrontation, Kyle offers Jason an alliance rather than revenge, aiming to dominate the chaos of the city together. Yet the final image of Kyle remains alone and conflicted, reflecting the fragile line between hero and monster.
