Produced by Filmmaker R&K, the film stars Zo In-sung, Park Jeong-min, Park Hae-joon, and Shin Se-kyung, and follows South and North Korean intelligence agents who clash in Vladivostok, while investigating a criminal incident at the border. Distributed by Next Entertainment World (NEW), the film was released on February 11, 2026.
