The film is set in the 1970s, a turbulent period of political corruption and real estate speculation. Gangnam, which is now the wealthiest and most glitzy part of Seoul, was then mostly undeveloped farmland. The movie follows two childhood friends, Jong-dae (Lee Min-ho) and Yong-ki (Kim Rae-won), who live in extreme poverty. After a tragic incident at a shanty town, they are separated, only to reunite as adults on opposite sides of the law—one as a brutal enforcer for a political gangster, the other as a rising power in the underground crime syndicate fighting for control of Gangnam’s future land.
