Rivals are made, sides are taken, battle lines are drawn, crimes are committed and secrets are revealed. Will Ayla jump over every hurdle thrown in her way with the help of Kaleb, will they manage to stay away from each other, or will they get swallowed by the traps of their rivals?

Si Jaxson Alconez a.k.a. Agent Fang ang tinaguriang pinakamahusay na secret agent ng National Intelligence Agency (NIA). Wala pang misyon ang hindi niya napagtatagumpayan kaya ganoon na lamang kalaki ang tiwala sa kanya ng kanyang kinabibilangan na ahensya. Dahil dito, siya ang malimit na ipadala na kanilang ahensiya sa mga malalaki at napakahalagang mga misyon. Ngunit sa pagdating ng rookie agent ng Philippine Intelligence Agency (PIA) ay unti unti na nagkaroon ng iringan sa pagitan ng dalawang ahensiya.
