At a restaurant, professional hitman Gon quietly interacts with a little girl sitting alone at her table. He then leaves and makes his way to the warehouse behind the restaurant where a man named Ha Yun-guk is making a deal with a group of thugs. Gon kills them all and retrieves Yun-guk's laptop. Hearing a sound behind the door, he shoots through it, only to realize it is the little girl who had followed him. The girl dies, traumatizing Gon who later drinks himself into a stupor.

Gon's close friend Chaoz takes him back to their boss. Gon is to go to South Korea to tie up the loose end – the little girl's mother Choi Mo-gyeong, a risk manager at an investment firm.

At Seoul airport, Gon is received by his local contact Byun. As he studies Mo-gyeong's routine, he learns of her visits to her senile mother in a hospital, and watches as she mourns her daughter. Gon feels even more guilty and conflicted about his task.

Mo-gyeong is approached by Detective Park from the financial crimes task force. Park reveals that her supervisor John Lee is heavily suspected to have ties with organized crimes. Yun-guk had somehow gained access to John Lee's accounts for money laundering, and had begun trying to sell them to the Russian Mob when he got killed. Park ask Mo-gyeong whether her husband left anything that can implicate John Lee.

Meanwhile, as Gon still hasn't completed his assignment, his boss sends Chaoz and the rest of the team to South Kore to find him. They quickly close in on Mo-gyeong's apartment.

In her apartment, Mo-gyeong finds the file in a pen drive. Park's subordinate shoots him and takes the drive away. Immediately after giving the drive to John, he is killed by Byun. The team prepares to kill Mo-gyeong, but Gon warns her with a call, then intervenes and kills several of them. He creates a distraction, allowing her to escape with a promise to reveal the truth about what happened to her daughter. However, she is captured by the team.

Gon requests Chaoz to let Mo-gyeong go, but the latter declines. Gon then tips off the police about a bomb that goes off quickly and alerts them about another bomb.

Mo-gyeong is taken to the financial building, which is soon surrounded by the cops who believe it will be bombed. Gon then takes out the two teammates one by one in a series of fights and improvised traps.

Meanwhile, Mo-gyeong succeeds in preventing the money transfer to John Lee's account with the help of her computer. When John ignores Byun's money, the latter stabs him to death. At last, Gon battles Chaoz and both get severely wounded.

Byun discovers Mo-gyeong and severely beats her up. He tries to rape her before she stabs him to death. After a conversation with Chaoz, Gon tells Mo-gyeong she needs to shoot the man coming to kill her since he is the one who killed her daughter.

However, Gon himself arrives and is shot by Mo-gyeong. Chaoz also arrives, snatches the shotgun from Mo-gyeong and tries to shoot her, but a dying Gon requests not to do so. The elevator goes down with a dead Gon's hand held by Chaoz while Mo-gyeong tries to reach out to Gon via radio.

A flashback shows how Gon's mother, who abandoned him in the states and killed herself early on in the film, tells him not to cry as they would have a good life once they move to America. However, Gon continues to cry: both as a kid and an adult.
