ALPHA ONE
The MAN and The Protege
"Time is just a concept of MAN."
Lancelot Rodriguez is an accomplished young professional. At the age of 25, he has a stable job, lives in his own apartment and drives his own car. Graduated Summa Cum Laude major in Psychology, he lives a serene and peaceful life. But when his girlfriend Jessie went to Seattle for a programming job, he was never been lonelier.
Jennifer Sandoval is an undercover agent for the National Bureau of Investigation. With her excellent forensic techniques, she is distinguished as the youngest agent with the most number of cases solved. To her credits include the celebrated Antipolo Massacre case, the Rolito Go case, and the Chop-Chop Lady case. A graduate of Pathological Medicine, her current case leads to dead ends, except one unlikely suspect, Lance Rodriguez!
When the peaceful world of Lance and the regimented but fast-paced life of Jenny collides, life for both will never be the same again.
From the chaotic streets of Manila to the moody streets of Vancouver, B.C., we follow Lance's plight and Jenny's quest for truth and justice. As Jenny stumbles over a large conspiracy of networks involving even the highest officials in the Bureau, her assets slowly disappears one by one. She must team-up with Lance and move heaven and hell, if only for both of them to survive.
One important question must be answered though, "Who is Tommy Lee?"
