Synopsis

A human weapon who carries a pair of enormous handguns and a coffin loaded with weapons: Beyond the Grave.

His real name is Brandon: an executive of Millennion, the underworld organization that rules the city, he was said to be one of the two wings that would carry it, together with his old friend Harry.

But Harry, having come into a certain secret, loses his heart to an ambition for power and begins to run out of control. Brandon, taking to heart the wishes of Big Daddy, the great boss of the organization, tries to stop Harry.

Harry, however, proposes the opposite: that they betray Big Daddy and take the organization for themselves. Brandon refuses, and a bullet fired by Harry goes through him.

Yet what brought back Brandon, who should have been dead, was, ironically, the fruit of the secret research Harry himself had been pushing forward. Harry had been carrying out a plan to revive the dead and remake them as undying soldiers.

His old companions and his men. And his feelings for Maria, the woman he loves most. Tormented by the struggle with his returning memories, Grave takes on the organization all alone to put a stop to Harry’s ambition.

Two men, sworn friends and mortal enemies. What passes through the heart of each? As ambition, friendship and a man’s pride cross one another, the guns of the two spit fire!
