Kim Byung-doo, a small-time gangster in his late 20s, is unable to acquire the money necessary to save his family from eviction, Byung-doo subverts his boss, Sang-chul, and takes a job directly from President Hwang, Sang-chul's boss, to eliminate Attorney Park, a public prosecutor who has been bothersome to President Hwang.

On this job's completion, Byung-doo receives the money he was hoping for in addition to President Hwang's respect and a spot at his side.

Sang-chul becomes aware of Attorney Park's murder and feels threatened by Byung-doo's subversion of his authority and lack of consideration for the organization.

Realizing the dangers of the organization being implicated, Byung-doo confronts Min-ho and threatens him never to tell anyone, choosing to spare his life despite pleas from his underlings that he do otherwise.

As Min-ho (and his film) have become quite popular, it will not be an easy job - Byung-doo intends to perform the hit and fly out of the country, escaping the consequences of his actions.

Notably, Jong-soo, Byung-doo's former right-hand man and his lone accomplice in the Attorney Park murder is present and appears to be leading the betrayal.

The final scene is a repetition from earlier in the film, where Byung-doo visits Min-ho on his movie set to give him advice.
