The king of the underworld (Lee Jung Jae) says he will allow Su Hong to be reincarnated, but one condition: The guardians must take the life of an old man who has been alive for too long. This old man has guardians of his own, a household deity as well as a mortal hero – his grandson Sung Ju (Ma Dong Seok). The trio’s quest becomes ever more difficult as their quest inadvertently sucks them back into their past lives…
