Why would the head of the KCIA, who is said to have held the second most powerful power and information after the president, do such a thing? Forty days ago, former KCIA director Park Yong-gak testified before a congressional hearing in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he had defected, accusing the South Korean president of corruption. He is also said to be working on a memoir. Furious, Director Kim is ordered by the president to take control of the situation, and travels to the U.S. to contact the traitor Yong-Gak, who is also a former friend of his. Little does he know that this is the beginning of a sad, dark struggle that will eventually destroy his own destiny...
