Synopsis
The story takes place in the 1970s and 1980s in the tranquil coastal village of “Hope Harbor.” Police chief Beom-seok (Hwang Jung-min) and officer Seong-ae (Jung Ho-yeon) are assigned to investigate a bizarre series of animal killings, only to discover that the culprit is some kind of enormous unknown creature. Meanwhile, the hot-tempered hunter Seong-gi (Zo In-sung) leads a team into the mountains to hunt the beast, only to become prey himself. As the monster’s true form is revealed, fear spreads among the villagers, and this fight for survival gradually becomes a brutal trial exposing humanity’s xenophobic instincts.
