Six months after a period of isolation, Andy leads a team of immortal warriors to retrieve a weapons cache from a secure compound in Split. During their mission, they encounter the mysterious Quỳnh, an immortal who has been imprisoned for centuries. As the team navigates the dangers of their quest, they must contend with the emergence of Discord, a ruthless immortal arms dealer who seeks to control the secrets of their eternal lives. The group must decide how far they are willing to go to protect their secret and ensure their survival in a world that is increasingly aware of their existence.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
After discovering the imprisoned immortal Quỳnh and learning about the elusive arms dealer Discord, Andy's team faces a series of escalating threats. They travel to Seoul to consult with a sage-immortal named Tuah, who reveals that Discord has stolen the records of all immortals. The plot thickens when the team discovers that Discord and Quỳnh's mercenaries have seized a nuclear facility in South Tangerang. During a desperate mission to disarm the facility, the team is separated. In a tragic turn, Booker sacrifices his life to transfer his immortality to Andy. Simultaneously, Nile manages to strip Quỳnh of her regenerative powers. In the final confrontation, Andy faces Discord, who has lost her immortality and seeks to reclaim it using Nile. After a brutal battle, Andy manages to defeat Discord but is left wounded. The film concludes with Andy and a now-mortal Quỳnh seeking refuge with Tuah, vowing to hunt down Discord and save the remaining immortals.
