Plot

Miri Alvarez is a highly skilled but impulsive agent working for an international organization dedicated to protecting scientists and inventors from a nefarious tech-stealing group known as “The Agency.” Haunted by the belief that she is responsible for her parents' deaths during her childhood, Miri's personal guilt influences her reckless behavior in the field.

During a critical rescue operation, Miri's refusal to adhere to protocol results in the death of her long-time partner. This incident leads to her suspension and return to Manila, where she struggles to reconnect with her estranged younger brother, Mark, who harbors resentment towards her for abandoning the family.

While attempting to adjust to civilian life, Miri becomes entangled in a series of mysterious disappearances involving high-IQ individuals. Her investigation reveals that these individuals are being transformed into zombies by The Agency, which plans to use them to further their technological ambitions. As Miri delves deeper, she uncovers connections between The Agency's activities and her own family's past, including secrets about her parents' involvement in scientific endeavors.

Determined to stop The Agency and their zombie army, Miri teams up with her brother Mark and her confidante Peachy Powers. Together, they confront various challenges, including battling reanimated corpses and confronting personal demons. Miri's journey forces her to reconcile with her past, mend her relationship with Mark, and embrace her role as a protector.

In a final confrontation, Miri and her allies infiltrate The Agency's headquarters, facing off against the organization's leader and their zombie creations. Utilizing her combat skills and newfound emotional resilience, Miri manages to thwart The Agency's plans, destroy the zombie-producing technology, and bring closure to her family's tragic history.
