The movie begins by introducing Hwang Ji-sung, a notorious con artist who has escaped from prison and is on the run from the law.

Park Hee-su is determined to bring Jo Hyun-min to justice, but he lacks the evidence to prove his guilt. Ji-sung, who has been watching the investigation from afar, sees an opportunity and decides to approach Park Hee-su with a deal - he'll help Park Hee-su catch Jo Hyun-min if he's granted immunity for his past crimes.

Park Hee-su takes a leap of faith and agrees to work with Ji-sung. Together, they plan an elaborate con that will expose Jo Hyun-min's illegal activities and put him behind bars.
