Ragmen Jong-dae (LEE Min-ho) and Yong-gi (KIM Rae-won) are two orphans who became blood brothers. No matter what they do, they cannot escape from poverty and reside in a shantytown. But when their shack is bulldozed as part of regional redevelopment, the two young men become homeless. When a local gang is short on manpower, they’re recruited to sabotage a political rally. But in the midst of chaos, they get separated. 3 years later, unlike the wishes of his former gang boss, Jong-dae refuses to let go of his gangster way, and teams up with a local madame who has powerful political connections. These two unlikeliest partners begin buying up paddy fields in Gangnam before they become the new hub city of Korea. When a rival gang gets the wind of this plan, Jong-dae meets his foe – it’s none other than Yong-gi.
