Tragically, this Gangster kidnaps the band's Vocalist (Sharmaine Suarez), who also happens to be the girlfriend of the drummer (Zoren Legaspi). The singer is the victim of a violent attack which causes a lot of pain and suffering to everyone involved. Driven by a deep desire for justice, the drummer takes justice into his own hands and takes revenge on the gangster by kidnapping his wife (Anjanette Abayari). This unexpected turn of events transforms the drummer into a bandit, as in the title "Bandido" who attempts to make the gangster pay for his heinous actions. However, what surprises everyone is that amidst the chaos and tension, an unexpected connection emerges between the bandit and the gangster's wife. Feelings of a very particular kind arise and add even more complexity to an already intense situation. With these events, the stage is now set for an inevitable and very tense confrontation. The confrontation between the bandit and the gangster, driven by their respective motivations and the unexpected connection that emerges, promises to be simply explosive.
