Arisaka

When Bataan police officer Mariano was assigned as a convoy escort for a narco-list vice mayor headed to a press conference that could shake the entire Philippine government, she knew it would be a dangerous mission. However, she did not expect her own fellow cops to rub them out and shoot everyone dead in an attempt to stop the release of any damning information by the vice mayor. As the sole survivor of the rubout, a battered-and-bruised Mariano flees to the Bataan wilderness to avoid the clean-up party and to have a chance at shedding truth to what really happened. With the harsh wilds ahead of her and a police squad hot on her trail, Mariano must run and hide if she wants to live.
