A leader of the opposition party in 1980s South Korea struggles to outwit the government who, unbeknownst to him, has placed a surveillance team in the house next door. Based on the life of Kim Dae-jung, the 8th President of South Korea.
The claustrophobic tension of 1980s South Korea crackles as a political dissident plays a dangerous game of wits against invisible eavesdroppers. Hidden microphones turn a quiet residential street into a battlefield where every whispered word could mean certain death.
