A top South Korean naval officer (Lee Jung-jae) is assigned the task to stop his plans and execute him.

The sensitive cargo is weapons technology for a military satellite, secretly made by the U.S. in reaction to strengthening Chinese/Russian relations.

Sejong's meeting with the contact goes sour but he learns about Sin and tracks his location in the Russian district of Busan, South Korea.

In Busan, Sin meets with Russian mob members who take him to a political seminar, where he stabs Park Wan-sik, the South Korean counsel general in New York, in the men's bathroom.

At the time, the South Korean government was trying to strengthen relations with China and they were forced to reject the family's request.

The only survivors were Sin and his older sister (Lee Mi-yeon), who managed to escape but were stranded in the wilderness between the borders of North Korea and China.

After enduring hardship, starvation, and rape, they managed to cross over to a train station in China where the two were tragically separated.

Sin goes down his own path and lives the life of a criminal and a modern-day pirate in South East Asia, where his bitterness and hatred grows, and he plots revenge against his betrayers.

He decides to hatch a plan to unleash uranium onto the clouds of a typhoon so that radioactive rain will shower onto the Korean Peninsula, effectively destroying it.
