After giving up his taekwondo dreams to care for his mother, Mi Jin, Park Do-jun moves with her from Korea to the Philippines. However, their relationship frays as Mi Jin’s severe gambling addiction spirals out of control, forcing Do-jun to abandon college and work to support himself, while finding loyal allies in aspiring K-pop star Sandara and Coco. When Mi Jin vanishes and is kidnapped by the ruthless leader of a major Korean crime syndicate, Do-jun plunges into a high-stakes, perilous race against time to rescue her.
