Hope

Ko Bum-seok is the police chief of Hope Harbor, a small village near the Korean Demilitarized Zone inhabited mostly by elderly people. His second cousin, Ko Sung-ki, asks him to investigate a dead cow with gaping wounds. Sung-ki and his fellow hunters claim that a stray tiger killed it, but they later discover more dead cattle and the farm owner. When Bum-seok returns to Hope Harbor, he finds that a large monster has massacred several townspeople. With reinforcements unavailable due to wildfires elsewhere, he joins retired colonel Ahn Nak-yeon in pursuing it, but they accidentally shoot and seriously injure a chef.
