Gritty thriller follows a former gang member whose fresh start is threatened after his brother’s death. While investigating, he discovers an author had disturbingly predicted the circumstances of his demise.
Former gang member Min-tae (Ha Jung-woo) has made a fresh start since leaving prison and is now a construction worker. But his new life is threatened after his younger brother Seok-tae dies in mysterious circumstances and his sister-in-law (Yoo Da-in), who works in a singing bar, vanishes. Filled with anger, Min-tae becomes determined to find out the truth and encounters author Ho-ryeong (Kim Nam-gil), whose novel, Nocturnal, had disturbingly predicted the circumstances of Seok-tae’s death. Kim Jin-hwang’s hard-boiled action thriller revolves around the raw and intense performance of Ha as Min-tae relentlessly goes on the hunt for Seok-tae’s killer.
