**Storyline:**
Kim Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun) is a top enforcer and a loyal subordinate to crime boss Kang (Kim Yeong-cheol). The two are concerned about rising tensions with Baek Dae-sik (Hwang Jung-min), the son of a rival family. Earlier, Sun-woo had confronted Baek’s men for causing trouble at their nightclub. Before leaving on a business trip, Kang tasks Sun-woo with monitoring his young mistress, Hee-soo (Shin Min-ah), suspecting her of having an affair.
While carrying out his duty, Sun-woo becomes captivated by Hee-soo’s beauty, which starkly contrasts with his own lonely existence. When he discovers Hee-soo with her lover, he initially plans to report it to Kang but decides to spare them instead, demanding they end their relationship. This decision earns him Hee-soo’s resentment.
Later, Sun-woo is pressured to apologize for his earlier actions against Baek’s men. He refuses, leading to a confrontation. After getting drunk, he is kidnapped by Baek’s henchmen but is saved by Kang’s intervention. Kang, however, learns of Sun-woo’s attempt to hide Hee-soo’s affair and questions his loyalty. Sun-woo is tortured but given a chance to rectify his mistake. Instead, he escapes, determined to seek revenge.
Sun-woo gifts Hee-soo a farewell present and tries to purchase a handgun, but the deal goes wrong, resulting in the deaths of the arms dealers. This sparks a vendetta with the brother of one of the dealers, who seeks him out. Finally, Sun-woo lures Baek to an ice rink, where he kills him but sustains injuries in the process.
