Premise

Sandugo is the story of two brothers who grew up separately and ended up on opposing sides. JC and Aris are fraternal twins who did things together as kids. But while Aris is a strong and athletic boy, JC is suffering from a congenital heart ailment and is in dire need of an operation. Their parents tried their best to earn the money for the treatment but JC's time is running out. In an act of desperation, their mother gives up Aris for adoption, receiving a hefty sum in return. Soon, JC and Leo will face each other from opposing sides of the law not knowing they are brothers. Will they wage war against each other or will their hearts remember that they are brothers of one blood?[1]

gollark: `set shell.allow_disk_startup false`
gollark: Yeees.
gollark: It wouldn't be very hard. I could probably write such a thing now.
gollark: Basically, you can set a setting to make it not boot from disks by default, then make a program which loads the code off the disk as if it is booting as normal but is really logging the code on the disk somewhere.
gollark: I could still get around that with 1337 h4xx.
