After being released from prison, Deok-Bae reconnects with his old friend Dal-Soo, who runs a small restaurant. Both men have struggled to find success and have frequently been in and out of jail. Alongside them are two other ex-convicts facing similar challenges; these men have threatened to take their own lives unless the city addresses ongoing problems like traffic congestion and unemployment. Unfortunately, all four are also suspected in connection with a recent crime. As they plan their first chance at turning their lives around, the city becomes gripped by a series of murders. In response, a team of experienced police officers is assembled to investigate and solve the case.
