Plot

The story follows Nam Kook-Hyun (Ryu Deok-Hwan), a freelance video journalist seeking a sensational story to advance his career. He encounters Kang Ki-Man (Jung Doo-Hong), a former detective whose life was shattered following a botched investigation into a drug syndicate. During the operation, Ki-Man's colleague was killed, and he suffered a severe head injury that left a fragment of a knife embedded in his skull. Driven by a desire for retribution against the drug lord Jung Tae-Hwa (Jung Eui-Gap), Ki-Man allows Kook-Hyun to document his pursuit on the condition that the journalist records his journey.
