Cha Eun-Jin has been raised as a Jopog (gangster) since childhood, and has risen through the ranks to 'Big Brother', no. 2 in the organisation. She also happens to be a female, but this is a detail that is largely considered to be irrelevant - especially by her. She's smart, confident, ruthless, and as luck would have it a fantastic fighter. The movie begins with a fight, filmed in the rain with dark shadows and slow motion creating a very artful effect. Two gangster are up against a group of many, and about to get killed when their savior appears - Eun-Jin silhouetted against the light looking full on comic-book cool before she somersaults into the arena and spins, kicks, twists, rolls and slashes her way through all comers.
Eun-Jin would possibly carry on like this happily for the rest of her life, but the discovery of her sister (whom she hasn't seen since childhood) introduces new complexity. Her sister has cancer, and may not live much longer. Her one last wish is to see Eun-Jin get married before she dies ...
