Fans are taken to a near future where North and South Korea have come together to create a Joint Economic Area. A city in itself, the area has its own currency, and citizens from both countries can work and live simultaneously. It also becomes the perfect opportunity to pull off the biggest heist the world has ever seen.
A group of outlaws and thieves are brought together by the Professor (Yoon). They plan to infiltrate the Royal Mint. Instead of stealing money, they will hold out a hostage situation to buy them time to fabricate their untraceable money.
