Synopsis:
Byung-Doo is a low-level gangster, barely able to take care of his family and the people under him in his gangster family. His mafia boss frequently short changes Byung-Doo and gives the more lucrative jobs to other people in the organization. Byung-Doo soon decides to take fate into his own hands and improve the situation for himself, his family and his mafia family.
Byung-Doo sits in on a dinner between his boss, Sang-Cheul and the top boss in the mafia group, President Hwang. Hwang complains to Sang-Cheul that he is getting hounded by an attorney that knows more than Hwang would like him to know about his organization. Hwang asks Sang-Cheul if he could fix his problem, but Sang-Cheul politely declines knowing the ramifications from the police force if he attempted such a brazen act. After the meeting, President Hwang asks Byung-Doo to be his chauffeur that evening. When Byung-Doo drives Hwang home, he decides to take the risk and potential rewards of fixing Hwang's problem permanently.
Meanwhile Byung-Doo meets two people from his grade school days. Min-Ho is an aspiring filmmaker that wants to learn from Byung-Doo about his mafia organization. He is attempting to make his first film which deals with the mafia, but finds that his script lacks originality and authenticity. The other person is Hyun-Ju, a girl that Byung-Doo has always had a crush on, but was never able to get close to. They become better acquainted through Min-Ho and soon develop a rocky relationship, that is burdened by Hyun-Ju's disapproval over Byung-Doo's gangster lifestyle (credit to Lunapark6 for sypnosis).
