The death in a car accident of Suk Dong-dae, the chairman of the Golden Gate Group and a leader of the violent Jae-ho faction, causes shockwaves in both the black and white worlds.
In order to prevent the Golden Gate Group from further infiltrating into the legal sphere, the police come up with the “New World Program”, which aims to intervene in the election of the successor to the head of the Golden Gate Group.
Around the title of the chairman, there is a series of fights between Ding Qing (Hwang Jung-min), the No. 3 person of the Golden Gate Group, who is an overseas Chinese, and Lee Jung-goo (Park Sung-woong), the No. 4 person of the executive director.
In the midst of the crisis, police chief Kang (Choi Min-sik) orders Lee Ja-sung (Lee Jung-jae), who has been undercover for ten years, to sway the election results.
Ja-sung met Jung-chung six years ago and has gained his partner’s respect and trust.
Tse-sung, who has long been tired of the yakuza life, is forced to accept the order, but he undoubtedly throws himself into a very dangerous black vortex.
A battlefield full of blood and desire, when will the new world come?
