In the film, nothing is changed in the setting of Korea but one. A duel is allowed. An ordinary office man, Yu Young-bin, is known as a counselor in his workplace, but also a veteran swordsman with incredible skills. Yet a feeling of weariness has come over due to repeated courses of discipline. While visiting a fencing hall run by his friend, Jin Woon-gwang, he encounters upon an unpleasing high-school fellow, Choi Bon-guk, whom he eventually opens up to, finding his past self reflected upon the fellow.
