The Deal
Make the deal to exchange murders?
Directed by Son Yong-ho
Produced by 9ers Entertainment
A dark, grief-haunted crime thriller about the corrosive effects of unresolved trauma and the moral compromises desperation can force.
A cop catches a serial killer who murdered his sister but never finds her body. The lack of closure torments him and drives his brother-in-law insane, who makes a deal with the mafia for revenge.
