What is the plot of The Tyrant?
The Tyrant begins when the South Korean government’s top-secret creation of a bioenhancer is stolen and exposed by U.S intelligence agencies. American representatives, who are furious about being kept in the dark about the project, demand all samples be handed over and the project be shutdown.
When a covert handover is ambushed by an unidentified third party, agents from both countries will have to join forces in order to retrieve the samples and prevent this precarious new technology from falling into the wrong hands.
