After Gray attracts the attention of a delinquent in class, no one expected the small and skinny Gray to fight back. To everyone’s surprise, behind his small frame, Gray is extremely cunning, using underhanded tactics to bring the bullies down to their knees.
From there, Gray gets involved in a lot of gang politics and violence, even with other gang members.

Jimmy Bae has had a long standing rivalry against Ben Park and he strategically kidnapped and took Ben away to weaken the Eunjang. The Union is taking advantage of their missing leader and attacking Eunjang when they have been weakened by Ben’s absence. The Union is a strong enemy and even Eunjang felt overwhelmed by them.
Eunjang’s spirits were at a breaking point and they were at the verge of admitting defeat. Things change when we see Teddy Jin beat up Lee Gongsam in a brutal way. Teddy Jin known to be a fighting maniac crushed Lee Gongsam and beat him up till he passed. When Eunjang witnessed Teddy Jin’s strong performance, their will to fight was reignited once again and their spirits rose through the roof as they readied to face the Union.
Joo Hwangmok fights and throws one of the Eunjang’s member on ground. Dean Kwon intervenes and belittles Hwangmok, telling Hwangmok that he is better and he looks down on Hwangmok. On the other hand, each member is facing off against a prominent member of the Union. Eunjang is ready to fight Union head on, get Ben back and ultimately defeat Jimmy Bae who is the root cause of the entire thing.
We have Yusan’s Jack Kang fighting against Eunjang’s Alex Go and Daehyun’s Dean Kwon fighting against Ganghak’s Hwangmok Joo. Each one of them holds deep animosity towards each other and they are determined to fight till the very end.
