Plot

Kim Jung-hyun (Kim Ju-hyuk) has just sold his first novel and, to celebrate, purchases a new car. He and wife Yoon-hee (THE SOUL GUARDIANS' Chu Sang-mi) decide to travel from Seoul into the countryside for a vacation but, following a brief rest stop, Jung-hyun accidentally backs into a pedestrian. The quiet, malevolent-looking man (NOWHERE TO HIDE's Park Jung-hoon) is not hurt but asks that he be allowed to join the couple on their trip; the guilt-ridden Jung-hyun reluctantly agrees. A few minutes into the trip, The Rider (who does not reveal his name) states that he plans to kill the couple...but then claims he was merely joking. However, when a rock comes crashing through their hotel room window that evening, the mysterious man's threat seems dangerously real. The Rider proceeds to involve the couple in a pair of automotive close calls, a way of provoking the writer into assaulting him in front of several witnesses. With Jung-hyun in police custody and facing prison time, The Rider offers another deal: he will drop the charges, if the pair allow him to accompany them for the next three days. With no other alternatives, they agree. Privately, The Rider informs Jung-hyun that he will continue to torment him and his wife until Jung-hyun finally has the courage to kill him. When that is not achieved, the madman decides to up the ante by taking the couple prisoner and stating that he will brutally torture Jung-hyun until the latter finally begs him to take Yoon-hee's life.
