Synopsis / Plot

Lai stars (via ADR dubbing) as a Korean cop who lives in a near-future world. He’s haunted by dreams of a mysterious beauty who appears to be threatened by a CGI tentacle. Then, he’s ordered by his kindly superior officer to meet with a Dr. Jang. The good doctor has perfected a time-travel device which allows the user to visit a previous life. Unfortunately, the prototype was destroyed by an evil cult leader, whereupon Jang’s daughter Nam-Hong (Park Eun-Hye) was lost in some unknown pocket of space. He feels that Lai has the correct “brainwave” to sync with the machine, or some other sort of pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo. Lai agrees, not only because he’s been ordered to, but also because Nam-Hong happens to be the spitting image of his mystery dream beauty.
