Storyline

The region where the borders of North Korea, China, and Russia come together, forms a sort of modern day wild west, where more than half of the population relies on illegal activity in order to survive. In Yanbian, on the Chinese side of the border, Gu-nam (Ha Jung-woo) wiles away his days driving a cab, and spends his nights getting drunk and gambling, and losing horribly. In fact hes so bad at mahjong that he has built up a sizeable debt to some small-scale hoods. His wife went to Seoul to work and send back money, but its been months since he has heard from her, and hes tortured by visions of her wild, passionate, imagined affairs. So hes broke and crazy and unraveling at the seams. When local crime lord Myun (Kim Yun-seok) offers to erase Gu-nams debt in exchange for a contract killing in Seoul, Gu-nam, at the end of his rope, reluctantly accepts.

The only thing he must not have crossed.
