The events start with two groups of rival teenagers hanging out in a bar, playing pool.

Eventually Sung-bin ends up saving a local crime boss, Kim Tae-hoon from a brutal beating and gets a job from him.

Sung-bin recruits a gang of youths, including Suk-hwan's brother, to serve as knife fodder in largely meaningless fights.

Universal Studios bought the remake rights and in November 2008, it was announced that director Marc Forster was attached to direct.
