The name of that girl is "Chi-chan." She used to live in this house, but she was supposed to have left town after causing a certain incident. Her presence exposes the "poison" that the seemingly happy Hagino family was trying to hide, heralding the beginning of nightmarish days...

What is it like for a person of power to live in Korean society? Apparently, it’s like being royalty.

From childhood, Park Tae Soo yearned for power. Born in a poor family, he reigned over fellow students with his fist before he caught a glimpse of what he called “real power” -- the sight of his thug father being beaten up by a pencil-neck prosecutor. It was then that he decided to pursue a career in law, the biggest symbol of power in the 90’s. After entering the most prestigious law school, experiencing democratic resistance in Korea, Tae Soo finally reaches his goal of becoming a prosecutor, but his life is no better than a salary man. By chance, he joins a clique of the powerful prosecutors with wealth and authority. He finally gets a taste of a life of the top hierarchy, but as he enjoys the sweetness of supremacy, he also sees the cruel side of it. Tae Soo soon realizes that real power comes at a price: forfeiting one’s conscience and pride. Entering star prosecutor Han Kang Shik’s inner circle, he slowly commences on a descent into corruption and ascent to power.

Gang Pae has risen to the #2 rank in his mafia organization by using unflinching violence. Even though he has made his name by his violent nature, Gang Pae has a softer side and loves nothing more than to catch a matinee showing all by himself. Meanwhile, Su Ta is a popular actor who has a similar violent edge. Su Ta has already knocked one actor out of commission while filming a fight scene.

One night, Gang Pae hears that Su Ta is drinking in the same bar and he orders one of his men to get Su Ta's autograph. The short-tempered Su ta refuses, and this leads to a confrontation between Gang Pae and Su Ta.

A few days later, Su Ta critically injures another actor while filming a fight scene. Filming now comes to a halt, because no other actors are willing to perform alongside the short-tempered movie star. Su ta then thinks backs to his confrontation with Gang Pae and recalls Gang Pae mentioning he acted as an extra in a film before. He then contacts Gang Pae and offers him the co-starring role. Gang Pae is willing to take the part, but only if they are to do the fight scenes for real.
