An ensemble-flavored police drama from South Korean director Kim Yu-jin, Wild Card follows a group of determined Seoul detectives as they comb the city in hopes of finding a murderous gang leader. Shocked by the brutal subway murder of an innocent woman and the subsequent gang-rape of a local prostitute, detective Oh Yeong-dal (Jeong Jin-yeong) and loose cannon partner Bang Jae-su (Yang Dong-geun) attempt to squeeze info out of a local club owner (Lee Do-gyeong). Subsequently spotting the gang directly after another horrific murder, the police give chase but lose the suspect in the winding downtown streets. Although he has escaped for the time being, an ingenious trap set by the policemen offers their only hope in finally apprehending the elusive gang leader.
