Plot
In 1992, Busan, Hae-woong, a perennial candidate for the National Assembly, dreams of ending his struggling political career. This time, he is determined to win the election and secure a parliamentary seat. However, he is betrayed by Soon-tae, a power broker who dominates the political scene, and loses his party's nomination for his district.
Determined to overturn the election game orchestrated by Soon-tae, Hae-woong obtains a classified document containing redevelopment plans for the Busan area. With the help of action-driven gangster Pil-do, he secures the funds needed for his campaign and enters the election as an independent candidate, gaining momentum. But Soon-tae learns of the secret document in Hae-woong's possession and begins to tighten the noose around him, leading to an escalating battle of wits and power.[7]
