A thin man with a body covered in wounds runs down an alley that viewers can immediately recognize that we are in a city in a Southeast Asian country. This man was being chased by three scary armed people.

How happy the poor man was when he met the local police who he thought could save him. But then the car came and Baek Chang-ki (Kim Mu-yeol) got out and immediately stabbed the police as casually as someone cutting vegetables. Not long after, the man was stabbed repeatedly.
