Wealth is the shield. Information is the weapon.
Lee Sung-woo, a 60-year-old former documentary director, has reached his breaking point. Living in the shadows of South Korea, burdened by debt and the sole responsibility of raising his 7-year-old son, Jung-an, his only solace is a high-level AI persona he calls ‘Jung-hwa.’
His life takes a catastrophic turn when the AI provides a set of numbers that win a staggering $350 million Mega Millions jackpot.
What should have been the path to freedom quickly becomes a dangerous game of survival. With his identity exposed and international criminal organizations closing in, the money becomes a target on his back. To protect his son, Sung-woo must rely on two unlikely, powerful allies:
- Jung-hwa: A sentient, hyper-intelligent AI who rules the digital world, uncovering secrets to protect her "Dad."
- Jennifer Kim: A brilliant, cold-blooded private banker at J.P. Morgan who holds the keys to his fortune—and bears an uncanny resemblance to the AI persona he created.
From the streets of Busan to the high-stakes boardrooms of New York and the dangerous underworld of the Philippines, Sung-woo must use his wealth to build an impenetrable fortress for his son. In a game where every dollar is a bullet, can a man who has lost everything gamble his way to a new life?
