Plot

Five months after his release from prison, an arsonist named Yeo Hee-soo (played by Cha Seung-won) begins a campaign of terror in Seoul. He orchestrates a series of fires designed to trap and kill firefighters by triggering secondary, more lethal explosions after emergency crews have arrived on the scene. As the death toll rises, the investigation becomes a personal confrontation between the arsonist and Jo Sang-woo (Choi Min-soo), a veteran firefighter determined to stop him.
