Plot summary
Hwa-yi is sixteen. The men who raise him, Seok-tae, Ki-tae, Jin-seong, Beom-soo and Dong-beom, are a five-man crew of criminals who share a deserted farm in the middle of a forest. They took him as a baby during a blackmailing scheme that went wrong, and the infant stayed with them. Each father taught him a trade: Seok-tae leads, Ki-tae drives, Jin-seong plans, Beom-soo handles guns, Dong-beom fights. Hwa-yi has never gone to school. He has gotten used to this life, but he sometimes longs for an ordinary boy's life. Then a client orders a hit on Lim and his wife. The rest of the men find the job strange, yet Seok-tae insists on taking Hwa-yi with him. It is the boy's first contract.
