About

A police chief and his deputy investigate a mysterious creature while a local hunting party sets out after the beast.

Hope Harbor is a small South Korean village near the Demilitarized Zone, populated mostly by elderly residents. Police chief Go Bum-seok (Hwang Jung-min) and officer Lim Sung-ae (Hoyeon) are called to investigate a mysterious creature that has been wreaking havoc on the village. Bum-seok's second cousin, Go Sung-ki (Zo In-sung), and a group of local hunters set out into the nearby forest to hunt the beast themselves. Retired colonel Ahn Nak-yeon (Lee Sang-hee) joins Bum-seok in the search, while the village is in distress.
