Plot Summary
The compelling storyline follows the journey contrasting two tragic protagonists. Junior, a street rap teenager with a solitary life, is on a mission to expose a disastrous crime committed by his father's narcissistic employer and prevent his campaign from ever pressing the issue against his family and friends. Meanwhile, self-made ambitionist habitual Nicky Haugh finds himself sidetracked into either fulfilling his philosophy or abandoning it that would result in either changing the world forever or risking what remains of his isolated life. Over the course of the story, Junior and Nicky discover a mutual respect even as they sense a rival within each other from their latest projects.
Full Synopsis
Nicky Haugh is a self-made habitual ambitionist who has lost faith in God, whom he views as an underling to the word "ambition", and has formed Project Ambition - his atheistic philosophical cult - for the purpose of converting humanity to atheism. He induces various head of states and powerful individuals into joining his philosophy before inviting all the world leaders to it's centennial ceremony at Basiliva of St. Plus X, his fortified fortress in Lourdes.
In London, Junior, a preteen blonde rapper from a solitary family, is struggling to cope with various aspects of his life; his mother Darcy is dying of terminal cancer and his jinxed father Dwayne spends less time with his son due to overtime work. At school, Junior is frequently bullied with only three students supporting him: his little sister Corrine, his best friend Colin Marsh, and newbie classmate Jiemma Carey, whom Junior apparently has a crush on.
After school one day, Junior manages to fight off the bullies when they assault him and Corrine along the way home. The duo then arrive home to witness their father getting fired by his self-absorbed employer Freddy Winter, an egotistical businessman whom Junior abhors due to his habitual narcissism, on purpose for his daily tardiness. The next day, Junior retaliates by insulting Freddy during a rap battle in which he protests about his campaign to shut down "Childs Hill", an environmental community that operates secret missions for both children and adults.
Shortly afterwards, Junior is approached by Alex Scott, the co-founder of Childs Hill, who invites him to join his clandestine unit that seeks to expose Freddy's corrupt activities as he intends to dissolve Childs Hill so he can make more money by taking over their territory. Having accepted his request, Junior manages to prove his values to Alex's unit while working alongside Colin and Jiemma, who is revealed to be Alex's step-daughter.
Later on, however, Junior's attempt to undermine Freddy's development backfire when the latter spikes Dwayne into sabotaging his rap performance during the community's centennial festival, causing Junior's relationship with Dwayne to become strained in the process. Following his humiliation, Junior himself ostracized from his remaining friends and the community itself after getting told that a vulnerable Dwayne had allowed Freddy to incapacitate their campaign.
Back at home, Corrine implores her father to support Junior after learning about what happened earlier on, but he refuses due to believing that he is beginning to recoup his trust to Freddy, unaware that he became corrupted into damaging his son's campaign. She later comforts her despondent brother upon witnessing the latter crying in his bedroom.
The duo then visit their mother in hospital where they are distraught to find her condition deteriorating, although she does console up to her children before succumbing to her conditions. In the aftermath, Junior spends the rest of the day having fun with his sister before returning home. This interaction is enough to provide Junior a renewed sense of confidence and determination.
Meanwhile, Nicky has been collaborating with illegitimate nihilist Cris Formage for the purpose of establishing his worldwide operation. Later on, Nicky and his two accompanies, Anthony Brasitus and his nephew Andreas, arrange a meeting with Cris to operate the final stages of his philosophy. Cris seemly complies, but secretly instructs his cultists to kill Nicky during the meeting. With backup from his accompanies, Nicky thwarts the ambush and vows revenge.
During this time, Alex had been investigating Nicky's latest project for sometime within a year ago. It has been revealed that Nicky was an ex-high ranking member of Childs Hill who went rogue after a circumstance originated by Alex caused him to feel profoundly disowned by Alex and betrayed by Childs Hill itself. Earlier on, Nicky had captured Alex's previous right-hand Keagen Cole, his former partner in-arms and Junior's older brother, and took him to a meadow outside near his fortress, where he attempted to humble him into becoming part of his plan. When Keagen refused, Nicky executed him at his own request.
Subsequently, Junior encounters Nicky for the first time after the former unexpectedly caught himself in a crossfire between the latter and Cris' cultists. In gratification, Junior invites Nicky for cafe where each protagonist concedes to the other the current situations of his personal life. Throughout their discussion, Junior is surprised when he realizes that he and Nicky have a lot in common. Moreover, Nicky describes his tragic backstory that affected the death of his divorced parents (his mother had died in a car crash that was indirectly caused by his father, who had fatally succumbed to his natural causes shortly afterwards) before confessing that his isolated life isn't supportive as it is philosophical. The incarnation culminates with both protagonists supporting the others commitment to their true motivations before pondering over the possibility of facing each other should the circumstances appeal it.
After the meeting, Junior rapidly restores his mission back into action and continues to investigate Freddy along with his sister and Jiemma, with whom he began dating following his own restoration. They eventually infiltrate his headquarters to extract information about his recent activities in order to prove Junior's theory is correct. While researching through a project called "Specimen $", the trio uncover that Specimen $ is a chemical that turns out to be the cure for cancer. They are soon recognized and confronted by Freddy, who openly declaims that he and had been sitting on the cure since he fatally betrayed Patch Adams, his former-partner-turned-adversary who was the late founder of Childs Hill, in order to safeguard his profiting business and make more money, having caused the deaths of countless victims who gained cancer in the process. He then takes Corrine hostage before having Junior and Jiemma thrown out, utterly responding that money and power are more convincing than the law.
On the same occasion, Nicky's plans to start a new life with his philanthropic girlfriend Zoe Rattigan, whom he had met in Starbucks, are reconsidered due to his current issues with Cris and Alex, who later poses as a tycoon before dining with him at his fortress to try and ascertain his philosophy. During the private dinner, both indicate the other's true motivations without mentioning the mistakes they've made in the past. Nicky then lets Alex leave in order to secretly track his movements.
He soon traces Alex to a obscure rendezvous near Freddy's headquarters where a gunfight erupts between Nicky's accompanies and Alex's faction, which results in Anthony getting shot after he and Andreas withstand an onslaught on Alex's faction. Nicky then proceeds to confront Alex, only to find him beaten to a bloody pulp. They gradually discuss their past events together that ends with Nicky forgiving Alex, who then reveals Cris had orchestrated the arrangement in luring both sides to a gunfight in yet another attempt to have Nicky killed, with his cultists disguising themselves as Alex's faction in disguise. Nicky then mercifully executes Alex at his own request to end his suffering.
Dwayne, hearing of Corrine's kidnapping, goes to confront Freddy at his headquarters where he reunites with his daughter and, in her words, learns about "Specimen $", finally coming to realize how self-centered and arrogant Freddy had been throughout. Freddy then exposes himself as one of Nicky's converts and is prepared to intend to his ceremony in France, taking both Dwayne and Corrine along with him as hostages. While en-route to Lourdes, Dwayne secretly contracts Junior to explain Freddy's plot and apologize for their falling-out earlier on, reconciling their relationship in the process.
Left with no other choice, Junior decides that he, Colin and Jiemma must stop Freddy on their own. They travel to Lourdes and infiltrate the fortress without being recognized, until they have a run-in with Cris and his remaining cultists. A confrontation ensues in a victory for the trio, who go on to peruse a cowardly Freddy and his counsel in law Trisia Case, a corrupt lawyer, just before their desperate escape becomes successful.
Thanks to Dwayne's sabotage, Junior strengthens himself into causing Freddy's helicopter to crash seconds before it's blades launch right into Freddy and Case, killing the latter and injuring the former, who is left dangling for his life while pleading for his life. A reluctant Junior brings Freddy up to safety before getting himself held at gunpoint. Freddy's attempt to shoot Junior goes wrong, however, when he finds the gun out of bullets. He is then overpowered by Junior, has one last run-in with Dwayne, and then left to be critically tortured by an angry mob just before getting arrested. Elsewhere, after presenting his inspirational speech to his fellow converts and his invited guests, Nicky is likewise able to find Cris and kill him after brutally beating him. Moments away from departure, he catches Junior approaching towards his position and decides to honor their agreement; though not after he shares one last moment with Rattigan before leaving her behind with his accompanies in his helicopter.
Junior chases Nicky through a meadow outside of his fortress where the two briefly exchange gunfire until the latter lures the former inside his fortress. Thereupon, the two play a tense game of cat-and-mouse in the dark. Eventually, Nicky gains the upper hand and comes close to executing Junior. However, he is momentarily distracted by Rattigan's sight in his helicopter and this allows Junior to tussle a knife close by and stab his heart. In that exact moment, Nicky fires the gun that misses Junior and instead causes a fire that soon spread around the underground church. The two narrowly escape, but not after Nicky gets mortally wounded after allowing himself to be struck by a falling object that was meant to harm Junior, who managed to drag Nicky to safety in spite of an initial struggle. When all is settled, both have an heartfelt conversation about their recent activities while emotionally exchanging comfort to the other; A dying Nicky praises Junior for his success while Junior tearfully acknowledges that he has a mutual commonality within Nicky more than anyone in his life. Junior then offers a hand and for Nicky to take in own, which he does as he succumbs to his sealed fate and reciprocates in honor of their promise. The two protagonists ultimately share a final, praising reflective together as they bid farewell to each other before Nicky dies peacefully.
Shortly afterwards, Junior takes Nicky's corpse to where their separate accompanies are waiting near his fortress. Thereupon, he reunites with his family and breaks down in tears when Dwayne, Corrine, Jiemma, and Colin all comfort him together following his unsuccessful attempt to save Nicky from fatally succumbing, while Rattigan approaches Nicky's corpse and mourns his death.
An epilogue cuts to Nicky's funeral that is celebrated in London and attended by Junior, Rattigan, Anthony and Andreas. Afterwards, his will and statement are read out in a recorded video message spoken by Nicky himself; who describes his change of heart in his philosophy before proceeding to give Rattigan his remaining estate, reward his accompanies with various cherished possessions, and grant everything else to Junior. The aftermath follows Freddy getting a life imprisonment sentence for his criminal activities, and is later reported to be killed during a prison riot. Alex's wife Margaret Carey became the newly leader of Childs Hill in her husband's honor, and finally Junior is implied to have recouped a good life along with his family, his girlfriend, and best friend. The story officially ends when Junior visits Nicky's grave alongside his friends and family, where he addresses to his fallen rival before leaving.
In a mid-credits scene, Junior romantically confers with Jiemma during their time with his family and Colin. In a post-credits scene, Rattigan visits Nicky's grave to lay flowers for him before he, Anthony, and Andreas drink a morbid toast in his honor.
