TOPAKK

(eng) TRIGGERED

by Richard V. Somes

After witnessing the murder of his entire platoon, Miguel is discharged from the army due to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Now working as a security guard at an abandoned warehouse, he becomes embroiled in a different kind of war when drug peddlers Weng and her brother Bogs seek his protection from a vigilante death squad. Led by the cold-hearted Romero, the squad is on a mission to ensure their cleanup is complete. As blood and death ensue, Miguel's past memories resurface. All hell breaks loose in a night where a tormented soul, a sinner, and a horde of demons collide.
