The world is in grave danger, but no one seems to realize it. Thankfully, Byeong-gu is our salvation. To everyone else, Chairman Kang is a pillar of society, but Byeong-gu sees him for who he really is: an alien from the Andromedan galaxy.
Byeong-gu’s only course of action is clear: kidnap the chairman and extract the truth via torture. With his tightrope-walking girlfriend by his side and city cops on his heels, he must use any means necessary to prove himself to the world and save us before it’s too late.
Shin Ha-kyun, Baek Yoon-sik, and Hwang Jung-min star.
