He has the wrong blood type to be... able to donate one of his kidneys so he arranges a trade with a group of black-market organ dealers: one of his kidneys and 10 million won in return for their finding a kidney for his sister. Just as the criminals renege on the deal a legitimate kidney becomes available for transplant. Unfortunately Ryu no longer has the 10 million won required for the hospital to perform the operation. In retaliation he and his political activist girlfriend kidnap his former boss's daughter - but events quickly spiral quickly out of control...
