Synopsis
Undercover police officer Ja-sung (Lee Jung-jae) infiltrates Goldmoon, the biggest crime syndicate in Korea, to investigate them under the command of his handler Chief Kang (Choi Min-sik). After eight years, Ja-sung becomes the right-hand man to the ring's second-in-command Jung Chung (Hwang Jung-min), who holds the real power. But when its leader is killed in a mysterious car accident, Goldmoon is thrown into a succession struggle that threatens to tear it apart. With a baby on the way, Ja-sung is desperate to retire, however Kang keeps him on as rival factions quickly develop around two prospective leaders, the gang's number 2, Jung Chung and number 3, Lee Joong-gu (Park Sung-woong). Top-level police officials initiate "Operation New World" to intervene in Goldmoon's selection process for the next leader, and to use the leader's death to their advantage in controlling the crime organization. Caught between Jung Chung who trusts him with his life, and Kang who thinks of him only as bait, Ja-sung is cornered by both bosses on opposite sides and must make a final decision that rests on loyalty and betrayal.Actors

En 1925, alors que la Corée est sous domination japonaise, Cheon Man-duk, un ancien chasseur respecté, vit avec son fils adolescent, Seok, dans une hutte près du mont Jiri. Après avoir malencontreusement tué sa femme dans un tragique accident, il a renoncé à la chasse et est devenu un humble ramasseur d’herbes dans ces montagnes qu'il connaît par cœur. Le gouverneur-général japonais de l'époque réunit petit à petit toutes les peaux de tigre existantes et devient rapidement obsédé par la possibilité de tuer le dernier tigre restant de Corée, un énorme mâle borgne vivant dans la montagne et ayant déjà tué de nombreux chasseurs. Surnommé localement le « Seigneur de la montagne », les habitants craignent que sa disparition ne ramène des loups et des sangliers. Un groupe de chasseurs coréens, mené par l'impitoyable chef Gu-kyeong, tente de tuer le tigre pour gagner de l'argent, notamment en tuant sa femelle et deux petits tigreaux et en utilisant leurs cadavres comme appâts.
