En 1925, alors que la Corée est sous domination japonaise, Cheon Man-duk, un ancien chasseur respecté, vit avec son fils adolescent, Seok, dans une hutte près du mont Jiri. Après avoir malencontreusement tué sa femme dans un tragique accident, il a renoncé à la chasse et est devenu un humble ramasseur d’herbes dans ces montagnes qu'il connaît par cœur. Le gouverneur-général japonais de l'époque réunit petit à petit toutes les peaux de tigre existantes et devient rapidement obsédé par la possibilité de tuer le dernier tigre restant de Corée, un énorme mâle borgne vivant dans la montagne et ayant déjà tué de nombreux chasseurs. Surnommé localement le « Seigneur de la montagne », les habitants craignent que sa disparition ne ramène des loups et des sangliers. Un groupe de chasseurs coréens, mené par l'impitoyable chef Gu-kyeong, tente de tuer le tigre pour gagner de l'argent, notamment en tuant sa femelle et deux petits tigreaux et en utilisant leurs cadavres comme appâts.

South Korea, 13 October 1990. Following President Roh Tae-woo's declaration of a crackdown on organized crime, Busan businessman Choi Ik-hyun (Choi Min-sik) is arrested for embezzling billions of won from hotel construction companies, and is also charged with intimidation, kidnapping and assault. Busan public prosecutor Jo Beom-seok (Kwak Do-won) is in charge of the investigation, and especially the murder of hotel owner Heo Sam-shik (Kwon Tae-won) by mobster Kim Pan-ho (Cho Jin-woong), with whom Ik-hyun allegedly was connected. Back in March 1982, Choi was a Busan customs officer who, along with colleagues, was already taking bribes and pilfering goods. After discovering 10 kilograms of hiropon (crystal meth) in a warehouse one night, he and colleague Mr. Jang (Kim Jong-soo) approach a friend of Jang's, gangster Choi Hyung-bae (Ha Jung-woo), to sell it to Japan's yakuza, with whom Hyung-bae has ties. Ik-hyun discovers that the younger Hyung-bae is also a member of the same Choi family clan from Gyeongju and the two form a close relationship. Ik-hyun leaves his customs job and becomes a full-time businessman, with Hyung-bae taking care of the underworld side and Ik-hyun protecting him with his high-level contacts. In the mid-'80s the two forcibly take over a nightclub run by Miss Yeo (Kim Hye-eun) that is on the turf of Pan-ho. Following his humiliation, Pan-ho has the club raided by the police and Hyung-bae arrested, though Ik-hyun gets Hyung-bae released by using the Choi clan connection with Seoul public prosecutor Choi Joo-dong (Kim Eung-soo). In May 1987, Ik-hyun and Hyung-bae take their business to the next level, formally linking up with Japan's yakuza and having a connection with a hotel-casino, the Daedong, that is also on Pan-ho's turf. Pan-ho threatens a gang war with Hyung-bae, and Ik-hyun is forced to decide where his loyalties and self-survival lie.
