Dort sollen neue Prachtbauten errichtet werden, um den Besuchern aus aller Welt zu beweisen, welch würdiger Gastgeber man ist. Bei einer dieser äußerst gewaltsamen Räumungen erschießt der unbarmherzige Polizist An-seok Kim (Choi Min-soo) den jungen, behinderten Ju-hwan. Dessen Bruder Kang-heon Ji (Lee Sung-jae) wird verhaftet und zu sieben Jahren Gefängnis wegen 'Behinderung der Behörden' verurteilt. Im Knast erwartet ihn die Hölle, da der beförderte An-seok Kim mittlerweile zum Gefängnisdirektor aufgestiegen ist. Nach etlichen Stunden der Folter und Demütigung sowie gescheiterten Attentaten auf Kim, beschließt Kang-heon mit dem Gangsterboss Dae-chul Hwang (Lee Ul) und mehreren Knastbrüdern auszubrechen, um die Welt auf Südkoreas politische Missstände aufmerksam zu machen. Eine blutige und folgenschwere Entscheidung...
