Story

An incident that occurred in a village that was to be submerged by a dam construction.
Is what you believe true?

Min-chul, a violent troublemaker, returns after a long absence to a rural village destined to be submerged by the construction of a dam. However, all the villagers, including Min-chul's wife and children, attend a church built in his absence and worship the young charismatic pastor Song.

Min-chul senses that this is a plot by Kyung-seok, a swindler who leads a bogus cult, and he struggles to stop Kyung-seok's misdeeds as he targets the villagers' spare money.

However, neither the villagers nor the police listen to Min-chul's claims, and he finds himself under siege and branded as a "man possessed by the devil"...

The film will be released in October 2017 at Eurospace and other theaters nationwide!
