Synopsis

Myung-us was born 2 minutes and 17 seconds earlier than his identical twin brother, Hyun-su. Being a middle school drop-out, a bum who rules the depot area, Myung-su is forced by his mother to do things for his smart, successful twin brother, Hyun-su. After fulfilling the military duty for his brother, Myung-su even goes to jail on his behalf. Fed up with living Hyun-su's life on only bad accounts, Myung-su goes through an identity crisis. As Myung-su steps out of the prison gate, he's approached by a beautiful girl named Soon-hui, who lures him into agreeing to rob a bank wit her, only two hours after he was released from prison. However, it turns out to be more than a bank robbery. He realizes that he's been pinned up against the powerful public figures that are involved in Golf Gate. Threatened and scared at first before power and money, Myung-su is ready to fight and punish these public enemies.
