Synopsis
Present day Thailand is rife with corruption. Tul, a straight-laced cop, is blackmailed by a powerful politician and framed for a crime he did not commit. Disillusioned and vengeful, he is soon recruited to become a hitman for a shadowy group aimed at eliminating those who are above the law. But one day, Tul is shot in the head during an assignment. He wakes up after a three-month coma to find that he sees everything upside-down - literally. Unaware of whether the condition is medical or a result of karmic retribution, Tul begins to have second thoughts about his profession. When he tries to quit, roles are reversed, and the hunter becomes the hunted. Then he meets a girl who upends the stakes. Can Tul find redemption from the violence that continues to haunt him?
