However, as the narrative unfolds, we see that beneath their rough exterior lies a deep desire to leave their chaotic past behind and settle into peaceful lives. The movie's prologue sets the stage for the dramatic events that unfold. We're taken back to the days when Robert, Dony, and Xavier were at the peak of their fighting prowess, with a string of victories beneath their belts. These triumphant heroes had made a name for themselves as members of the elite fighting squad 'Alpha', feared by their rivals and adulated by the fans. However, a fateful incident shatters their lives and prompts them to embark on a journey of self-discovery. A young fighter, Raj, who has come to idolize the trio, becomes embroiled in their world, only to meet a tragic end at the hands of their greatest foe, Anand. This devastating loss serves as a wake-up call for the trio, who realize that their penchant for violence has left a trail of suffering behind them. As they grapple with the guilt and remorse, the three friends begin a downward spiral from the height of their fame, retreating to quiet lives in the countryside. Robert, now married with a daughter, is struggling to come to terms with his troubled past and finds solace in teaching young fighters at a local martial arts school. Dony, haunted by nightmares and flashbacks, finds fleeting comfort in solitary walks and meditation. Meanwhile, Xavier, the most enigmatic of the trio, retreats to a remote cottage, where he spends his days lost in contemplation. The movie's narrative takes a dramatic turn when fate brings Robert, Dony, and Xavier together once again, this time under circumstances they least expect. Their reunion is sparked by a visit from an old Alpha friend, Tony, who's concerned about the increasing menace that Anand poses, now a ruthless and cunning crime lord. He informs the trio that their former friend, now a sworn enemy, has started to exploit their troubled past to his advantage. As they reminisce about their glory days and the camaraderie that once defined them, a sudden violent attack sends Robert crashing to the ground. A hooded figure, revealed to be Anand's henchman, strikes without warning, unleashing a vicious assault on the trio's newfound tranquility. This brutal attack serves as a stark reminder of the darkness they thought they'd left behind and sets in motion a chain of events that will lead them back to their former life as fighters. As the three men grapple with the moral implications of returning to their violent ways, they begin to confront the demons of their past. They must reconcile their love for combat, which has been a defining aspect of their lives, with the realization that their actions have severe consequences. With their history and their past lives looming ominously over them, they must make a collective decision – to either succumb to the call of action and confront Anand once and for all or to walk away from their former lives for good.
