In 1970, a plane taking off from Haneda Airport in Tokyo bound for Fukuoka is hijacked by members of the Red Army Faction, a communist military group that was active between 1968 and 1971. The hijackers, armed with guns and knives, demand to divert the plane to Pyongyang, North Korea.
In Seoul, a mysterious a shadowy member known as "Nobody" is recruited to coordinate a secret operation to stop the hijacking. With the help of intelligence from Japan, the United States, and South Korea itself, they will try the most outrageous tactics to achieve this.
