1980s, the isolated rural village of Hopo Port. From that place, the disaster begins.
About
In the 1980s, Hopo Port is a small harbor village located near the DMZ of the armistice line. One day, unidentified monstrous creatures attack the village, turning the ordinary countryside into a survival battlefield in an instant. Ko Bum-seok, the head of the local police substation, fights a desperate battle to protect the residents with limited personnel and outdated weapons, but the monsters are overwhelming beings that do not fall easily even to bullets. However, the truth revealed as time passes is even more shocking. The monsters are not mere wild animals, but extraterrestrial life forms that crashed from outer space. Their massive spaceship and other individuals yet to wake remain hidden deep within the forest. The residents join forces to face them, but friendly fire, fear, and chaos ensue. To survive, they must uncover the identity and purpose of these alien beings.
