Without any explanation or trial, he is given only a television to learn that his wife has been murdered and he is the prime suspect. Suddenly released just as mysteriously as he was taken, Dae-su is given five days to find his captor and exact revenge. What follows is a spiral of violence, psychological torment, and shocking revelations that challenge the very concept of vengeance.
