Plot
In 1989, the Communist Party is planning to dominate the strategic position of the central region. Five members of the Army Special Service Group have been ordered to prevent this from happening. Lieutenant Azri (Remy Ishak), newly married to Aida (Siti Saleha), is named the leader of the four other members, Trooper Karim (Beto Kusyairy), Corporal Morgan (Sashi Tharan), Corporal Ah Chia (Xafier Fong) and Sergeant Unya (Frank Petterson).
