Adapted from a novel by Donald E. Westlake this incisive, darkly comic satire from Park Chan-wook follows a newly unemployed man who, desperate to land a coveted position, hatches a ruthless plan to dispatch his competition.

Man-soo had it all: a loving wife, two talented children, two happy dogs. He even bought the beautiful forest-enclosed house where he grew up. Then, after 25 years of dedicated work for Solar Paper — where he was awarded Pulp Man of the Year in 2019 — Man-soo is suddenly given the axe.

Soon he is falling behind on his mortgage payments and his wife insists they put the house up for sale. Man-soo is desperate to scoop a coveted position with Moon Paper, but he knows there are other job seekers who match his pedigree. So he hatches a plan: invent a phony paper company, reach out to each of his rivals, lure them into a meeting… and, one by one, dispatch the competition.
