The film was released on March 23, 2017.[2][3][4][5][6]

At night, prisoners leave the walls of their jail to commit perfect crimes across South Korea—an institution that has become a hub for flawless criminal operations. Jung Ik-ho, the undisputed power and kingpin within the prison, rules over this underworld. One day, Song Yoo-gun, a former police officer with a reputation for a 100% arrest rate, is incarcerated for charges of hit-and-run, evidence tampering, and bribing the police. With his fearless attitude and hot-tempered nature, Yoo-gun quickly catches Ik-ho's attention. Ik-ho begins to pull Yoo-gun into his latest criminal schemes, gradually revealing his ruthless ambitions.
