What is behind what is happening to Carter is the National Security of South Korea working with the North Korean they need him for a mission to save the Doctor’s daughter who was kidnapped on his way to North Korea.
The girl was cured by the doctor’s father from the virus, they need her antibodies to make a vaccine to prevent the spread of the deadly disease when Carter asked the acquaintance who said was he was a former CIA agent in South Korea who entered the North and became a citizen until he got married. He had a daughter who now contracted the virus while his wife died.
He was encouraged to do the mission so that he could also save his child after Carter agreed and sent him to the rooftop of the building because it was next to the headquarters of the CIA where the child was. Using the equipment given to him he crossed the building in a silent manner and with the help of voice named Jeong-hee he knew the location of the Agents and killed them one by one. The girl was locked up in playground room but when he went there the girl named Jeong Ha-na was afraid of him.
He was given the phone to the girl and she talked to the father to trust him after the conversation the girl was going to join Carter but they were already surrounded by the CIA outside. He threw tear gas at the Agents to escape but they were still caught by the CIA. The CIA let him know who he was working for but Carter didn’t care who.
What is important to him is that the Agent is to have a vaccine. The Agent is angry and blames the Korean government for spreading the virus but the Agent named Agnes finds out that Carter’s actions are compatible with their former colleague Agent Michael Bane. They took his hair to conduct a DNA test suspecting that he changed her face.
A signal was also obtained from Carter’s body immediately Jeong-hee cut off the communication with Carter and used the signal on his tooth. When the CIA removed it from him Carter immediately rescued the girl because it was a powerful bomb that took the life of CIA agents. Carter continued to run away but someone stopped his Agent who almost made the girl fall. He face his in the fight while Ha-na was hanging on.

He was sent to the bus stop if he wanted to know the truth. While the NIS was also on its way to pick him up. Carter did not go in his pick-up car, instead he took the bus. Jeong-hee tried to convince him to follow them but Agnes intercepted his communication with the North and revealed his true identity as they used to be together in the CIA.
Carter doesn’t believe because they tried on his life. Agnes made him listen to the conversation of the side that he was believe was going too kill him suddenly Agnes was hit with a gun so he was forced to run away with the child but the child was kidnapped by a motorcyclist. Carter overthrew his colleagues and immediately chased the abductor using the recovered motorcycle.
The NIS captures the girl but many enemies ate following them and he also killed. Ha-na almost fell from the car but Carter saved her. When Carter got into the van, the CIA came who considered him to be the enemy while he was facing them in the fight they got Ha-na.
Carter stole a motorcycle and upset the opponents then chased the girl who kidnapped him. When he caught up with them he faced them in the fight until he killed everyone after that Carter went straight to Jeong-hee’s directive that he go to the airport because the plane that will take them to North Korea is waiting for him.
He was met by Director Kim Dong-gyu who will accompany him back to North Korea. They will also be accompanied on the fight by some North soldiers and journalists. They were also taken to the hospital room to treat their wounds. While Carter was changing clothes suddenly something happened on the plane.
The Director immediately check the cockpit after they lost contact inside it turned out that the pilots passed out after drinking coffee. The director found out that the pilots were infected with a virus he wanted to end it but the soldiers of the North did not agree to him.
The nurses checked the pilot but they couldn’t tell if they were really infected but the plane suddenly lost power. Jeong-hee is sent to the cargo after Ha-na is detected there. It turns out that someone abducted the child sent from North Korea. Fortunately the Director saved them but the gun was taken from him and the Director was killed, Carter lets the girl escape and fights him off blowing up the back of the plane.
When the director’s security saw her, she informed him that he was killed because the two sides exchanged gunfire. Everyone almost kills themselves but the journalist separates them so that the girl can find out the truth herself but before Ha-na can speak they are attacked by those infected with the virus.
North sent the girl to escape by using jumping on the plane Carter also followed and tried to get the enemies parachute while they were going down Carter was able to kill the enemy and then took his parachute. He also saved the child and they landed in the back of the car but another enemy sent by the North came and was still trying to get the child.
Carter stopped it and finished them one by one but he also had a hard time because they had a gun and Carter sent Ha-na to the front of the car while he faced the enemies until he killed them all after that he just let just let Carter cross the bridge so that Jeong-Hee can pick him up and the mission is over. Carter walks to the river but they are suddenly attacked by those infected with the virus.
They quickly ran away and reached the bridge, the girl was the first to cross while the Carter stopped the zombies but Ha-na suddenly slipped through the bridge and surrounded them on both sides so he cut the bridge to save them. Jeong-hee comes to help them after they reach North Korea and meet General Kim Jong-Hyeok Jeong-Hee was about to restore Carter’s memory but before that happened the General betrayed them in his promise to launch a coup in the government of North Korea.
Carter is taken to where he will be sentenced to death and finds out that Jeong-hee is his wife but before he can killed the zombies attack them so he survives. Carter takes the soldiers car and uses it to go to Sinuiju Chemical Factory’s biochemical facilities just around the corner to save Jeon-hee.
Arriving outside the facilities he calls Jeong-Hee to hear the conversation. The General encourages her to join the coup but she does not agree. When the General kill her Carters save her and immediately enter the facility. He faces the soldiers there and was able to be killed. When they met Jeong-hee again they took him to the room of their daughter who was infected with the virus. They were also attacked there by a zombie so they were forced to jump inside and saw Dr.Jeong there. While the doctor was administering a sedative to his daughter the General’d staff rushed in and Carter tried to stop them because of the number of them. Carter let go of the infected and then they looked for a way to escape.
They got a jeep form the soldiers before the zombies caught up with them and this is what they used to escape. Jeong-hee’s plan to chase the train that China sent the virus infected people on to escape of North Korea. While on the flight Jeong-hee has the doctor store Carter’s memory by stitching the back of his head.
There he remembered everything that while the family was fleeing, the General stopped them and made a deal with Carter that he would take the child in exchange for letting them go if he succeeded but the General wanted assurance that he would return the family. Carter erased his memories so he wouldn’t betray the conversation but the General infected his daughter with the virus to make sure he would come back.
When Carter remembered everything, He apologized to his wife suddenly the car they were riding broke down and the enemies came because of this Jeong-Hee sent Carter ahead to escape the children and intended to stop the enemies. Carter chased of soldiers but he was able to get on the passing train, luckily he was able to hold onto it and saved Ha-na before the enemy arrived they were chased by the General soldiers that Carter tried to stop but it seemed that they were not exhausted. The helicopter almost took the girl but Carter also stopped it and they killed each other but while Carter was busy the enemies got the girl. Carter used the crane on the train to save Ha-na but the enemy cut the train while the General also arrived in a helicopter that wanted to finish him off but Carter was able to jump before the back part of the train exploded.
Carter took control of the helicopter and tried to destroy the General’s helicopter. He fired at him but Carter jumped before the helicopter crashed. They are still trying to get the girl but lucking Jeong-Hee arrives and saves Ha-na who also faces the soldier in battle while Carter climbs into the General’s helicopter while Jeong-hee continues to fight.
