Pak Jun Do is the haunted son of a lost mother -- a singer "stolen" to Pyongyang -- and an influential father who runs a work camp for orphans. There the boy is given his first taste of power, picking which orphans eat and which are lent out for labor. For his loyalty and keen instincts, Jun Do is noticed by superiors in the state and rises in the ranks. Becoming a professional kidnapper, he boldly takes on Kim Jong Il to save the woman he loves.
