Detective Ma Seok Do (Ma Dong Seok) is the no-nonsense deputy head of Geumcheon Police’s Major Crimes Unit. He and the unit’s team leader, Captain Jeon Il Man (Choi Gwi Hwa ) think they have landed a plush assignment that involves traveling to Vietnam to repatriate a South Korean criminal who has been apprehended by the Vietnamese police force. Although this assignment at first looks like child’s play – almost a vacation in disguise – it turns out to be anything but after an expat South Korean named Kang Hae Sang (Son Seok Gu) starts brutally killing holidaymakers.

All of a sudden, South Korean tourists visiting Vietnam are thrown into panic as this seemingly merciless killer begins to strike terror into their hearts. Ma Seok Do and Jeon Il Man decide to track Kang Hae Sang down. But this turns out to be a much harder task than it first seems. Their often-unconventional policing methods are not always welcome in Vietnam, and Kang Hae Sang turns out to be a cunning and formidable opponent. Can they stop the murders – and put the killer behind bars?

Taek Il (Park Jung Min) is 18 and unhappy with his lot. His life is going nowhere, much like the faulty motorbike he bought online and now can’t get to work. After a bitter quarrel with his nagging mother, he decides to run away from home to a town named Gunsan where he finds work at a Chinese restaurant. He has a run-in with the restaurant’s cook, the burly and ostensibly ill-tempered Geo Seok (Ma Dong Seok). Although they get off on the wrong foot, they start to develop an unorthodox friendship, which mostly involves baiting each other and threatening one another with violence. Little by little, Taek Il begins to understand that Geo Seok is hiding a mysterious and unhappy secret.

Things get even more hectic for Taek Il when his best friend Sang Pil (Jung Hae In), who is trying to support his ailing grandmother, who is struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, reveals that he is to take up a job in “finance” – a position that turns out to involve little more than collecting debts for unscrupulous loan sharks. The trio embarks on a journey of discovery as they try to carve out a future for themselves in an uncertain world…
