Man-su ("Squid Game" star Lee Byung-hun) leads the perfect life: stable employment, family, home, two golden retrievers. But one day, the idyllic life turns to horror. Man-su loses his job at the paper factory, and with it his status, masculinity, identity, honor, and meaning in life. To regain them, he will stop at nothing, especially since the wet work brings just as much satisfaction as the paperwork.
