The movie revolves around a capable detective named Hong Gil-dong, played by Lee, who traces a case that has remained unsolved for two decades.

His character has a lot in common with his previous role, a profiler in tvN’s drama series “Signal” that ended on March 12.

The 31-year-old actor has played a wide range of characters in films “Bleak Night” (2010), “The Front Line” (2011) and “Architecture 101.” (2012)

The director of the movie is Jo Sung-hee, who previously wrote and directed the film “A Werewolf Boy” in 2012.
