After a high-ranking North Korean official requests asylum, KCIA Foreign Unit chief Park Pyong-ho and Domestic Unit chief Kim Jung-do are tasked with uncovering a North Korean spy, known as Donglim, who is deeply embedded within their agency. When the spy begins leaking top secret intel that could jeopardize national security, the two units are each assigned to investigate each other. In this tense situation where, if they cannot find the mole, they may be accused themselves, Pyong-ho and Jung-do slowly start to uncover the truth.

Lee Jung-jae’s career as an actor spans three decades. Among the many titles to his credit, The Housemaid by Im Sang-soo competed at Noir in Festival in 2010. Last year, Lee starred in the controversial hit series Squid Game, winning an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series – the first Asian to win an award in this category. Lee was supposed to co-star in Hunt, but when he read the story for the film, he decided to direct what would become his directorial debut. The film was selected for the Cannes Film Festival out of competition.
