In Yanbian, on the China-Russia-North Korea border, Ku Nam struggles as a taxi driver, drowning in debt. His wife's South Korea job promises money, but she's gone silent. Tormented by suspicions, Ku Nam loses his job, and debt collectors seize most of his severance pay. Crime boss Myung Ga offers a risky proposition: carry out a hit in South Korea for $10,000. Ku Nam accepts, setting off with $500. In Korea, he surveils his target and searches for his wife, but as he prepares to strike, a cascade of unexpected events ensues, leaving him in a desperate search for an escape. Meanwhile, the cops, Korean mafia, and Chinese mafia all hunt for Ku Nam. (Source: XuongPhim)
