Two police academy students who only have their majors and books to trust, witness a kidnap and track it down. “Park Seo-joon and Kang Ha-neul play crime-fighting rookies in hugely entertaining buddy cop thriller” – James Marsh, South China Morning Post


At Seoul’s prestigious Police University, slow-witted jock Gi-jun and shy bookworm Hee-yeol become best buddies through their tough training.

On a rare night out, they witness the abduction of a young woman. Turning to the authorities for support, their pleas fall on deaf ears as the police are preoccupied with a high-profile kidnapping case. Gi-jun and Hee-yeol are called to action and must become a formidable crime-fighting force having no alternative but to investigate the abduction themselves.

This leads to a night of comedic hijinks and shocking revelations as they learn to apply both their deductive and combat training in the real world.
