For us, there are things we just have to do.
A town with no future, and no hope. Seventeen-year old Yeon-gyu (HONG Xa-bin) was born in this place, and has never been to anywhere else. While enduring the repeated violence inflicted by his stepfather, he saves up money in the lone hope of moving to the Netherlands with his mother.
Chi-geon (SONG Joong-ki), born and raised in this town, is now a mid-level boss in a criminal organization. Having learned early in life that this world is hell, he gets by in his own way.
One day Yeon-gyu gets into a fight to protect his stepsister Hayan (KIM Hyoung-seo). Unable to raise the settlement money, Yeon-gyu is helped by Chi-geon, and in that way Yeon-gyu comes to start a new life as a member of Chi-geon’s gang. Although scared and awkward, Yeon-gyu gradually adjusts with the help of Chi-geon who is like an older brother to him. Having earned Chi-geon’s trust while fighting to survive in the gang, Yeon-gyu begins to fall into more and more dangerous circumstances.
In order to escape from hell,
they become a part of it.
