The small resistance led by Kim Woo-jin are trying to bring explosives from Shanghai to destroy the key Japanese facilities in Seoul, but Korean-born Japanese police officer Lee Jung-chool is thrown into the situation to try and figure out who, where and how the resistance will get to Seoul. Once a member of the independence movement himself, Lee struggles to choose a side and ends up working as a double agent with the resistance becoming his priority.
