Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A suicidal cop and the criminal who was wrongfully accused of killing his partner are bound together by their mutual desire to catch the true culprit in this breathlessly-paced chase film starring Park Joong-Hoon and Chun Jeong-Myoung. Inspector Sung-woo and his partner were on a routine stakeout when Sung-woo walked away from his post and his partner was ruthlessly gunned down. Meanwhile, as Sung-woo prepares to accept the punishment handed down by his superiors, petty thief Su-hyun struggles to break free from the criminal syndicate. When Su-hyun receives a call to carry out one last job, he has little choice but to accept and hope for the best. But the job is closely tied to the murder of Sung-woo's partner, and when Su-hyun is caught he is set up as the scapegoat for the crime he vows to prove his innocence at any cost. In a bold move that stuns the entire police force, Su-hyun escapes from the hospital where is being held under tight security, kidnapping Sung-woo as a bargaining chip. But how does one threaten a cop that doesn't care if he lives or dies? As the chase to find the true killer gets underway these two unlikely allies quickly discover that, despite being on opposing sides of the law, they're both on the same mission.
