Description: In the heart of a dense forest, a notorious five-member criminal gang resides on a secluded farm. During a botched kidnapping attempt, they are left with an infant. Fourteen years later, the boy, named Hwa-yi, is raised by the gang as their son. Each of his five fathers—Seok-tae, the cold but charismatic leader; Ki-tae, the skilled driver with a stammer; Jin-seong, the master planner; Beom-soo, the weapons expert; and Dong-beom, the martial arts specialist—teaches him unique skills, replacing formal education. While Hwa-yi has adapted to this unconventional life, he occasionally yearns for a normal childhood, which seems out of reach.
As the gang plans a new heist, Hwa-yi is involved in a crime for the first time. During a confrontation, he fires a gun to kill someone. Initially hesitant, he becomes possessed after the first shot. Discovering a photograph of a child on the victim, Hwa-yi uncovers a devastating truth: the man he killed was his real father. This revelation shatters his world, and he vows revenge on his criminal fathers, using the skills they taught him.
Hwa-yi begins his vengeance by killing one of the five fathers. The remaining gang members pursue him but lose track. Hwa-yi lures them to the Sungji Cement Factory, where he also invites a rival gang. Chaos ensues as the two groups clash, and Hwa-yi, positioned high above, snipes them down. Soon, only Seok-tae and Hwa-yi remain. Seok-tae flees to the hospital where Hwa-yi’s mother is admitted, and Hwa-yi follows, determined to end the cycle of betrayal and violence.
