A mobster named Tae-gu is offered a chance to switch sides with his rival Bukseong gang, headed by Chairman Doh. Tae-gu rejects the offer that results in the murder of his sister and niece. In revenge, Tae-gu brutally kills Chairman Doh and his men and flees to Jeju Island until he can move out of the country to Russia where he meets Jae-yeon, a terminally ill woman and her arms dealer uncle, Kuto. Tae-gu's boss, Chairman Yang conducts an attack to wipe out the remaining Bukseong Gang's lieutenants to finally end the gang forever but without Tae-gu's leadership and efficiency, along with the revelation of Chairman Doh's survival, the plan failed. One of the top brass of Bukseong gang, Executive Ma, is mercilessly hunting Tae-gu to take revenge. Yang is forced to betray Tae-gu to save his life by choosing to hand him to the Bukseong gang. He also calls Tae-gu in Jeju, feigning a desire to escape to Russia with him in a week's time.
Kuto later on is killed during a firefight against his buyers who want to go against the weapon deal on the orders of Bukseong and the buyers are killed by Tae-gu and Jae-yeon. They then go on the run, crashing at a motel, where they commiserate on their misfortunes over alcohol.
Later on, Tae-gu arrives at the airport to meet his boss as planned. He unexpectedly receives a call from one of his underlings, Jin-sung (who he had previously failed to contact) revealing Yang's betrayal. Tae-gu is spotted by the gangsters leading to a prolonged chase in which he escapes. He heads back to the motel, finding Jae-yeon missing. She is revealed to be held hostage by Director Ma, who gives Tae-gu an hour to arrive.
Tae-gu indeed arrives and is subject to brutal torture under Ma's men. Ma reveals the truth: the killing of Tae-gu's sister and niece was ordered by Chairman Yang, who feared Tae-gu crossing over, along with all of his underlings, leaving him powerless. Enraged, Tae-gu attacks Yang, but is finally held back and finally stabbed to death by Ma's men, with the killing blow dealt by Yang. Jae-yoon, who could only watch the events unfold, is released as per Tae-gu fulfilling his end of the deal.
Jae-yoon calmly ambushes the gangsters at the restaurant where she and Tae-gu first met, killing them all. She then retreats to the beach and points the gun to her head. The film fades to black with a loud bang in the background. Preferwiki (talk) 10:22, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
