In Mogadishu, Somalia in 1991, South Korean and North Korean diplomats vie for support from the Somali Government in their respective bids for United Nations membership. When civil war envelops the city, embassy staff from both sides are forced to flee for their lives.

Based on true events, this award-winning political action thriller from director Ryoo Seung-wan explores how the diplomats navigate their differences amidst the violence of a foreign conflict.
