They Deliver Illegal Firearms Right to Your Door?
A gritty cop and his enigmatic partner team up to stop illegal firearms from flooding South Korea. Detective Lee Do avoids lethal force, relying on a taser instead of a gun. But South Korea, a nation where gun ownership is rare, is suddenly flooded with illegal firearms. Chaos erupts.
At one crime scene, bullets were hidden in the ceiling; at another, weapons were seized. Lee Do, a former military sniper, identified the arsenal: XM177, AK-47, MP5, and MK MOD 1. He suspected the cases were linked. A student shooter, taken alive, revealed the guns were delivered by courier. Later, Lee Do encountered Moon Baek, who claimed he had also received bullets and a list of addresses. When a parolee armed with a weapon stormed the police station, Lee Do abandoned his taser. Using seized evidence and his sniper skills, he subdued the attacker. The immediate threat was stopped, but the bigger mystery remains: Who is flooding South Korea with illegal firearms?
