To get Do-hyun better schooling, Ok-ja and her son falsely register in the affluent Daechi-dong district of Seoul, despite their financial struggles. Do-hyun becomes resentful of his classmate Sang-su, who receives disability benefits, and discovers Sang-su is not actually disabled, revealing problems with the system. At university, Do-hyun and his friend Ji-woo manipulate government policies for entrepreneurial subsidies, deliberately avoiding genuine need. Driven by a desire for more wealth, he joins forces with investor Kevin on a risky cryptocurrency venture, pushing Ji-woo aside and initially achieving success before regulatory issues cause their scheme to collapse. Their pursuit of greater profits ultimately leads them to a dangerous and deadly enterprise.
