A bit of a brain-burning movie. The male protagonist Singh always sees hell-like scenes, seeing people like the devil chasing him, and always dreams of the scenes of living with his ex-wife and children, as well as the past on the battlefield. Singh was deeply reminiscent of and the pain of being chased by the devil. It wasn't until he encountered comrades with the same problem that Singh thought of what the army did to them during the Vietnam War, but his comrades died in a car explosion.

However, the prosecution was very difficult, the comrades withdrew withdrew, and he became fighting in Thailand somehow, and there was also the kidnapping of the man in black. The last chemist found Singh and told him the truth was that the government did chemical experiments on them in order to make them brave and combative, causing them to kill each other. Singer returned to his ex-wife's house after learning the truth and saw his dead son. Under the guidance of his missing son, he walked towards the light.
