Bong Man has lived all his life by his wits and fists on the mean streets of the city. But now his muscles are slowly becoming paralyzed due to Lou Gehrig's disease, and he only has two months to live. He thought he had finally made it on the streets when he became a mid-ranking mobster, but now he only has death to look forward to. Bong Man reunites with Hee Kyung, his ex-girlfriend whom he had dumped many years ago. To his surprise, Hee Kyung unites him with their son Bong Goo. For the first time in his life, Bong Man is truly happy. He experiences the joys of buying toys for his son but is saddened at the fact that two months are too short to make up for the lost time. Meanwhile, a rival faction in the organization conspires to remove Bong Man, and his right-hand man, ‟Ax‟, decides to take matters into his own hands.
