“The Tooth and the Nail,” an upcoming thriller flick starring actors Go Soo and Kim Joo-hyuk, is slated to hit theaters in May, production company Kidari Ent said Monday.

The film, based on the 1955 American novel by Bill Ballinger, is set in Seoul in 1947 and centers on a mysterious murder case with a cut-off finger as the only clue.

It tells the story of wealthy Nam Do-jin, played by Kim, and his driver Lee Seok-jin, played by Go, who became involved in the murder case.

Moon Seong-geun co-stars as a lawyer who tries to cover up the case while Park Sung-woong appears as a prosecutor who tries to prove the guilt of the criminal.
