played by Ryu Seung-ryong, now leads
an every man life. One day he goes out
to run an errand only to discovering a
man being murdered. The killers see
that Yeo-hoon could be a witness and
shoot him. With a little luck and a little
skill. he is not fatally wounded and man-
ages to make it to a hospital. The murder victim is identified as a well known
industrialist and Yeo-hoon is named as
the prime suspect. At the hospital Yeo-hoon is under the care of resident doc-
tor Tae-jun, a cheerful man expecting
his first child with his wife Hee-joo. The
killers return and look to finish off Yeo-hoon during the night but Tae-jun saves
him. In retaliation Hee-joo is kidnapped
with Tae-jun receiving a phone call demanding Yeo-hoon’s release from the hospital in exchange for Hee-joo’s life.
In a state of shock, Tae-jun does as he
is told and helps Yeo-hoon escape from
the hospital. On the run Yeo-hoon must
find the killers, clear his name and save
Hee-soo all in 36 hours.
