A homicide investigation concerning the death of a famous copywriter, Jung
Yoo-jung is aired live on TV. Prosecutor Choi Yeon-gi interrogates a suspect, the
only suspect, Kim Young-hoon who is quickly arrested, but something about the
case just doesn’t sit well with Yeon-gi.

One by one, Yeon-gi starts to put the pieces together, and finally awaits the
moment of truth. Just as the culprit is about to be revealed, the producer at the TV station suggests a shamanic ritual to summon the copywriter’s soul – a
showcase to boost TV ratings. Yet, this proves to be pivotal as crucial information
is revealed by the summoned soul.

An intense thriller and also satirical jab at the current media obsession with
reality television, director Jang Jin accomplishes what he does best with taking
tried and tested film scenarios and adding a unique and fresh take on the subject.
