Childhood judo rivals reunite when Min challenges vanished Jae-hyeong to a final match to revive their friendship.
Jae-hyeong and Min have been friends and rivals in judo since childhood. Min always believed they would continue their journey in the sport together, but one day, Jae-hyeong suddenly disappears without a word.
