In the film, Aquino will be teaming up with Shogun actor Takehiro Hira as they aim to catch a serial killer in Japan for a bounty. "I play the role of Manuel Hidalgo, a washed up actor na magkakaroon sila ng baby soon ng wife niya and dahil medyo matumal na ang kanyang mga proyekto, kinakailangan niyang pumunta ng Japan para mag-omise at mag-'side hustle' doon," Aquino said. "He stumbled upon isang news na parang may isang serial killer tas nakilala niya ('yung character ni) Takehiro, pareho silang financially unstable, eh may pabuya, so hinuli nila 'yun," he added.
Known for his roles family drama genre, Aquino is excited to blend it with action as a fan of the "Bourne" series. "Hindi pa kasi ako nag-a-action nang ganito eh, usually kasi family drama ako, romcom, kaya nung sinabi na medyo suspense 'to na action, family drama, pwede," the actor said. "Nandodoon pa rin 'yung genre ko eh, medyo iniba lang natin eh gustong-gusto ko dati gumawa ng 'Bourne' series," he added.
For Aquino, viewers would relate on how their characters are willing to risk anything for their loved ones. "Lahat naman tayo gagawin ang makakaya natin para sa pamilya, eh 'yung dalawang bida is ganoon, gagawin nila lahat para sa pamilya nila," he said. "Very relatable, si Manuel para siyang OFW, para siyang (tago ng tago), na walang legal documents, pero hindi mo sila ija-judge kasi ginagawa nila 'yun para sa pamilya nila, relatable talaga siya."
