A blockbuster-scale, hyper-delinquent action ride for the fiercely burning youth!

In a dystopian future where all natural resources have been depleted, human waste has become the city’s sole source of energy. To maximize energy production, the government incentivizes defecation by rewarding citizens with “Hard” – which are highly addictive, hallucinogenic popsicles.

Before long, a group of mutated outcasts known as the “Bojagi Gang” emerges. Having lost their ability to defecate due to severe “Hard” addiction, they are brutally exiled from the city for being “unproductive.”

With “Hard” becoming the ultimate status symbol of wealth, the city spirals into a lawless wasteland plagued by constant looting and violence. For Aachi and Ssipak, two street thugs who scrape by through the illicit “Hard” trade, survival is getting harder by the day. Meanwhile, the desperate Bojagi Gang relentlessly raids the city to satisfy their craving, prompting the government to deploy “Geco” – a ruthless, cybernetically enhanced super-soldier – to wipe them out.

While wandering through Sector 4, the city’s most dangerous slum, Achi and Ssipak cross paths with a girl named Ippeuni. The moment Ssipak falls head over heels for Ippeuni at first sight, the duo is dragged into a wild, unwanted, and chaotic journey…
