AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalA pacifist turned gun‑bearer races global shadows to shield an arms dealer’s impossible dream of peace.
Raised amid perpetual war, Jonathan "Jonah" Mar despises firearms and the men who profit from them. His world shatters when Koko Hekmatyar, a charismatic yet ruthless international arms merchant, recruits him as a personal guard. Forced to pick up a weapon he once vowed never to touch, Jonah finds himself thrust into a high‑octane convoy of ex‑special‑ops mercenaries, each with their own scars and loyalties. Together they escort Koko across continents, navigating the murky waters of black‑market deals, rogue militias, and the ever‑watchful eyes of global intelligence agencies. Koko’s grand, almost naïve vision is to fund a fragile peace by balancing the scales of power through controlled arms sales. Her operation, run under the veneer of the shipping conglomerate HCLI, constantly skirts the line between legal commerce and outright crime. The CIA stalks her like a shark, while assassins lurk in every port, ready to turn her ambitions into ash. Jonah and his fellow protectors must decide whether to become the very weapons they abhor, defending Koko’s idealistic dream—or watch it crumble under the weight of their own guns.
