Yoon-seok, Sang-woo, Won-seon and Ho-young are four best friends who live in Susaek, a poor town of Seoul. With a landfill nearby, Susaek reeks of the trucks bringing the city’s garbage. When Korea is chosen to hold the 2002 World Cup, Susaek is mentioned as the location for the new soccer stadium. Greedy entrepreneurs crowd into town and the locals get excited, hoping for urban renewal and redevelopment. When Won-seon is recruited by a local gang and gets involved in the redevelopment business, Sang-woo becomes jealous. Can their friendship survive the new strains?
Up until the late 90s, Susaek-dong in Seoul was a poor neighborhood. With Nanji Island close by, which used to be a landfill for the Seoul metropolitan area, it was always filled with stinky smell and all the residents were dirt poor. And yet, as Korea came to host 2002 World Cup Games and rich developers flocked into the poor neighborhood, a crack took place and began to get wider among the poor friends who used to get along in Susaek-dong.
