The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil

In a bustling metropolis where the roar of engines blends with the clang of streetlights, a specialized police unit hunts a shadowy network of motorcycle thieves. Their quarry is the legendary “Flying Squirrel,” a phantom rider whose daring raids have become urban folklore. The department’s focus on high‑speed heists creates a charged atmosphere of cat‑and‑mouse, where every alleyway could hide a clue and every night pulse with the promise of a chase.

Jung Tae‑suk is a diligent detective whose instinct tells him that the case is more than a series of random robberies. He moves through the precinct with a mix of methodical precision and restless curiosity, often finding himself at odds with superiors who downplay the gravity of the threat. His drive is fueled not only by duty but by a personal need to prove that the unseen menace can be unmasked.

Jang Dong‑soo commands respect from the underworld, presiding over a gang that knows the city’s backstreets better than any map. Charismatic and fiercely pragmatic, he balances the brutal realities of his trade with a shrewd business sense. While his interests diverge from the police, the emergence of the Flying Squirrel forces him to confront a puzzle that could jeopardize his empire.

The film thrives on the uneasy partnership that forms between these two opposing forces. Their interactions crackle with tension—law versus outlaw, order against chaos—set against a gritty urban backdrop that feels both familiar and hostile. As they each pursue the same elusive target, the audience is drawn into a world where loyalty is tested, motives blur, and the line between hunter and hunted remains tantalizingly ambiguous.
