Plot
[edit]Kang Tae-sik, a once-renowned detective now running a shabby private investigation agency, thinks he's taking on a routine infidelity case. But when he storms the scene, he finds a woman dead and suddenly becomes the prime suspect. Just when he is helplessly framed as the culprit, he gets a mysterious phone call. The caller offers a way out of the murder frame-up: kidnap someone.
With no time to catch his breath, Tae-sik finds himself hunted by the police, constantly surveilled and wiretapped by a mysterious figure who seems to know his every move, his past history, and even the people around him. On top of that, he discovers the person he's been ordered to kidnap holds the key to a high-profile national scandal.
