The story centers on Eom Jung Ho, a former detective who now works as a pimp. He begins to feel frustrated when several women working for him suddenly disappear without paying off their debts. At first, Jung Ho thinks they just ran away, but as time goes on, the number of missing women keeps increasing, making him suspicious that something is wrong.
One night, Jung Ho receives a call from a customer who requests to meet. When checking the number, he realizes something shocking: the number is the same as the last one that contacted the women who had previously disappeared. This discovery leads Jung Ho to start thinking that this case might be related to a human trafficking network.
To confirm his suspicions, Jung Ho then sends one of the women named Mi Jin to meet the man. He even prepares a plan to catch the customer and find out what is really happening. However, the situation becomes more complicated when Mi Jin cannot be contacted after going to meet the man.
Mi Jin's disappearance makes Jung Ho even more convinced that the person he is looking for is not just an ordinary customer. He began to investigate this case himself and tried to find the mysterious man before it was too late.
In his search, Jung Ho slowly uncovered facts that were far more horrifying than he had imagined. The hunt between him and the mysterious man turned into a tense chase that revealed the dark truth behind the disappearance of the women.
This film is crafted by a production team that also plays a crucial role in its success.
