The premise
After barely surviving a brutal attack by a sadistic serial killer, crime boss Jang Dong-su is left humiliated. Determined to catch the killer known as K, he forms an uneasy alliance with Jung Tae-seok, a relentless and incorruptible detective who often disrupts his illegal business. However, while Jang Dong-su wants K dead, Jung Tae-suk is determined to bring him to justice. With a deal in place—whoever finds K first will decide his fate—the hunt begins, blurring the lines between crime and law.
Horror Vault's take
When a ruthless serial killer makes the catastrophic mistake of targeting one of Korea's most feared crime bosses, the wounded gangster finds himself sharing an uneasy hunting ground with a dogged detective who's spent years trying to bring him down. The two adversaries strike a dangerous pact — find the killer first and decide his fate your way. What follows is a hard-boiled Korean thriller that pits street muscle against badge, with a monster hiding in plain sight between them.
