Carter

A violent zombie-like virus spreads rapidly, causing a deadly pandemic that devastates the United States and North Korea. By this time, there are 150,000 infected and 30,000 dead in the U.S., while North Korea sees a staggering 8.5 million infected.

A man named Carter awakens in a blood-soaked motel room in Seoul with no memory of who he is or why he's there. He discovers a cross-shaped scar on the back of his head, signaling the start of his horrifying journey.

Carter's solitude is shattered as armed CIA agents burst into the motel room, demanding information about Dr. Jung Byung-ho, who has been missing for 19 days with his daughter. The urgency of the situation emphasizes the dire stakes of the pandemic.

As Carter grapples with confusion and fear, a disembodied feminine voice reveals that he must follow her guidance to survive. This voice belongs to Han Jung-Hee, a North Korean official involved in a key mission against the virus.

Guided by the voice of Jung-Hee, Carter escapes the motel and engages in a fierce battle against numerous attackers in a public bath. His impressive combat skills allow him to overcome overwhelming odds and continue his mission.

Inside a van with NIS agents led by Choi Yu-Jin, Carter learns about the collaboration between North and South Korea to develop a treatment for the virus. The project involves an antibody derived from Dr. Jung's infected daughter, Ha-Na.

Carter discovers that the CIA is responsible for Ha-Na and her father's abduction, a situation that has escalated tensions between the two Koreas. His mission evolves into a rescue operation for Ha-Na, critical for the vaccine's production.

As Carter struggles with his mission, he learns that he is a naturalized North Korean citizen who previously aligned with the CIA. This revelation complicates his feelings, especially as the CIA mistakenly identifies him as operative Michael Bane, presumed dead.

The situation intensifies when the CIA tracks Carter through a rigged molar, forcing him to escape a potentially explosive confrontation. Jung-Hee warns him to flee, emphasizing the danger he is in from both sides.

In a tense moment where Agent Agnes attempts to gain Carter's trust, tragedy strikes as she is shot. This situation highlights the urgent danger they face as Ha-Na is taken prisoner by the CIA, and the stakes continue to rise.

Carter engages in a desperate fight to rescue Ha-Na from the CIA as agents close in. The chaotic environment escalates tensions, forcing him to act swiftly to save her and uncover the truth behind the betrayals.

When Carter makes it to an airstrip, he faces infected pilots, escalating the sense of urgency and danger. After a chaotic shootout filled with treachery, he must escape to save himself and Ha-Na.

Upon arriving in North Korea, Carter and Ha-Na are met by General Kim Jong-Hyeok, whose ulterior motives complicate their situation further. A coup begins to unfold as Carter battles to escape the dangerous situation.

Carter, Jung-Hee, and Dr. Jung make a brave escape from a facility under siege. Racing against time, they face relentless pursuers while trying to reclaim their daughter Yoon-Hee, held as leverage amidst the chaos.

As tensions culminate aboard a train filled with infected individuals, Carter faces off against General Kim in an explosive final confrontation. Amidst the chaos of the train disaster, Carter's revelations about his past come to light.
