However, beneath this facade, Alex harbors a staggering secret: he is the formidable boss of the world's most powerful mafia, controlling the underbelly of global crime while possessing extraordinary superhuman abilities.

Simultaneously, his growing bond with Olivia tests his ability to keep his true identity a secret, putting both their lives in grave danger. As tensions reach a boiling point, Alex is compelled to make a critical decision: reveal his true identity and utilize his full powers to protect his loved ones or continue concealing his dual life, risking everything he has built. This decision leads to a thrilling climax where Alex confronts his enemies, both in the criminal sphere and within the walls of Crescent High.
