Popular director Ryoo Seung-wan directed this action-packed film and played a leading character. It is a story of a cop who investigates the murder of an old-time friend and uncovers a web of corruption revolving around the development of a casino in the city.

In the film, Tae-su (played by Jung Doo-hong) is a detective in Seoul and visits his hometown for the first time in decades for the funeral of his childhood friend Wang-jae. At the funeral he meets his other old friends Pil-ho (Lee Beom-soo), Seok-hwan (Ryoo) and Dong-hwan.

Believing there was more to Wang-jae's sudden death, Tae-su delays his return to Seoul and decides to stay in his hometown longer. Investigating Wang-jae's acquaintances, Tae-su is attacked by thugs and narrowly escapes death with the help of his friend Seok-hwan.

With suspicions growing after the attack, Tae-su and Seok-hwan begin to dig into Wang-jae's death. But as they get closer to the forces behind it, they also witness unexplainable deaths one after another.
