    • Synopsis
    • Seoul, 1933. “Phantom”, a spy working for an anti-Japanese resistance group is working in the shadows. After a failed attempt to assassinate a newly appointed Japanese Governor-General, chief security guard Kaito (Park Hae-soo) lays a trap to smoke out the undercover agent from within the Japanese-run government.

      A handful of people are under suspicion and they find themselves gathered inside a remote hotel. They are communications director Junji (Sul), encryption archivist Park Chakyung (Lee), secretary Yuriko (Park So-dam), cryptologist Cheon Eunho (Seo) and communications clerk Baekho (Kim). Under close scrutiny by the Japanese authorities, each must prove their innocence.
