Ban lives in District Zero’s slum as an errand service worker. This means he does errands for others; they usually don’t want to do them. One day Ban was working for his criminal employer Shinwi; he had to complete an errand that took him to find out something unknown to him – Project W. Ban wants to find out about Project W, because he wants to help Ray; Ray was a police officer who took Ban in as a child and whom Ban has loved secretly his entire life. As Ban looks for information on Project W’s substance and the related conspiracy, he begins to uncover information that Ray has hidden from him while trying to decide between his loyalty to Shinwi and his love for Ray.

Soo-ah, eager to kickstart her fitness journey, signed up for a one-on-one personal training session after a friend’s glowing recommendation.

Joo Incheol thought he was going places. As a loyal aide to Lee Myeongseon, a rising political figure and contenders for ministers, he was on a secure path – until the rivalries within the campaign began to swallow him whole.

To prove he was worth keeping around and to reestablish himself, Incheol was given an important task: to figure how to diffuse a redevelopment dispute in the problematic Jungang district of Songmun City. The redevelopment plans were politically sensitive, publicly condemned and practically impossible. Incheol was aware that his entire future hinged on this case.

His only real lead? Ahn Pyeonghwa, the owner of a decrepit fitness center, found in the geography of the redevelopment conflict. Also problematic? Ahn Pyeonghwa is his neighbor – but not one he knows very well.

When Incheol reaches out for his support, Pyeonghwa agrees. However:

“Hit me.”

Drawn from every direction by ambition, uncertainty, and baffling request from a neighbor, Incheol is caught in a complex situation in which the very rules of political negotiation no longer apply, and where the distinctions between politics, personal interests, and pain, become fundamentally blurred.
