Jae-hyuk (Kim Myeong-min) is a pharmaceutical worker for a medical supplies company. When a series of dead bodies are found floating in the Han River, the public is shocked to discover that the deaths are related to a fatal outbreak of virus-infected mutant parasitic horsehair worms, called ‘Yeongasi’, that can control the human brain. Those infected show symptoms of hunger and thirst. Hence, they jump into the river to combat dehydration.
