Synopsis

Soyeon is an active journalist on a mission for social justice. One day,
she receives a call from a serial killer.
Revealing himself as Soyeon's childhood friend Sangjoon, he is a fugitive
on the run after escaping from a mental institute and killing 18 people.
His request is surprisingly a personal interview.
Agreeing to help her friend redeem himself, Soyeon brings a Japanese
cameraman to the killer's hideout as requested. With no idea on what to
expect, she steps into a gamble to find the truth behind her old friend.
They meet at an old, abandoned apartment.
Sangjoon threatens the cameraman to record everything in one continuous cut
as he explains the reasons for the murders. To Soyeon’s terror, Sangjoon
goes deeper into his story and reveals that the finale’ is to happen now in
front of her eyes.
From murder to rape, confusion and terror, Soyeon desperately tries to make
sense of the situation and prevent a terrible fate that may befall on her
childhood friend, as well as herself.
