Synopsis
Yoo Jin Woo runs an investment company and has flown to Granada to buy an augmented-reality game before anyone else understands what it is. He checks into a shabby hostel run by Jung Hee Joo, whose younger brother wrote the game and has since vanished. When Jin Woo puts the lenses on, the streets of Granada fill with duels and weapons and enemies — and then the game stops staying inside the game, and a man he fought there turns up dead in the real world.
