animal town Oh Seong Cheul is out on parole; he wants to be a different man but the tracker on his ankle reminds him that this is not the case. He struggles with his inner demons by living a harsh life as a manual laborer and continually goes to see his psychiatrist. Kim Hyeong Do is a broken man. He is a family man who is burdened with the experience of a parents’ worst nightmare. He goes through the motions of life, consumed by the desire for revenge.
