Plot
editKim Yool, a police detective, attempts to kill mob boss Carlos Kun in order to avenge his family's death, but Yool gets arrested and transferred to an island called Sura island, which is a prison for deadly and blood-hungry criminals. Yool learns that Carlos is also serving his prison term on the island and sets out to finish him. Yool also meets a child Jin and his mother Maly, who despised Yool as he was the one who imprisoned her in the island. However, Maly later forgives him after he saved Jin's life from Carlos' henchmen. Along with Maly and other prisoners, Yool clashes with Carlos' henchman and kills them.
