Jong-goo, policier dans la petite ville de Gok-seong, est confronté à des meurtres très violents commis par des personnes qui, après une soudaine éruption cutanée, sont soudainement prises de démence avant de devenir catatoniques. Au fil de ses investigations, la rumeur le conduit à soupçonner un Japonais qui vit isolé dans la forêt. Pour l'interroger, il fait appel à un diacre parlant japonais et, avec un collègue, ils fouillent sa cabane en son absence. L'autre policier trouve des photos des villageois infectés et assassinés et certaines de leurs affaires mais est trop choqué pour dire quoi que ce soit aux autres. Le chien de garde de l'étranger attaque le diacre et Jong-goo. Le Japonais arrive et apaise le chien, et les trois autres partent.

Eom Joong-ho is a dishonest ex-detective turned pimp who is in financial trouble because two of his girls have gone missing. One night he sends Mi-jin, one of his few remaining girls, to a customer. But he later realizes that this is the same person who was the last to see his missing girls. Believing that this man is reselling his women, he goes to look for Mi-jin. On the way he contacts his old police task force to ask for some help. But they cannot assist because the mayor of Seoul, whom they are guarding, has just been attacked with human feces during a walkabout. The police are now preoccupied with a media storm because they have suffered humiliation for failing to protect the mayor.
