Min, the son of a widowed alcoholic mother, is a young man unafraid of a fight. After dropping out of school his friend Tae-soo brings him into the underworld, and the road continues from there. Meanwhile his relationship with Romi, from a well-off family and hoping for a place at a good university, complicates his life further. Kim Sung-soo directed, from a bestselling graphic novel by Huh Young-man with a screenplay by Sam Shin.
