Min-sik Choi es un hombre de negocios coreano que un día es secuestrado y confinado durante años en una celda en la que sólo hay una televisión. Y, sin embargo, ignora por qué razón está allí... Es la segunda parte de la "trilogía de la venganza" de Chan-wook Park.
Charlie Chan's investigation of a blackmail-induced suicide as a case of murder leads him into a world of magick and mysticism peopled with a stage magician, a phoney spiritualist, and a for-real mind reader.
A destitute man ready to drown himself is rescued by a caring passing woman. Soon thereafter forgiven by his dying father, he inherits great wealth and becomes engaged to a society woman. When she only laughs at the poor on a slumming trip, he remembers his own past and the woman who saved him.
