‘Rampages’ is an underground hip-hop group famous for its aggressive lyrics and wild rapping. Their de facto leader, Chang-dae (BONG) writes all of the songs, teaching young group member Min-soo (LEE) everything he knows about music. Min-soo has fallen in love with the group’s female vocalist, Ah-ra (KWAK). Together, they happily pursue young dreams of love and happiness. Flash forward three years. Those dreams have quickly dissolved. Min-soo has left the group to join a major record label, becoming a popular rapper. All but forgotten, the frustrated and resentful Chang-dae repeatedly accuses Min-soo of stealing his material. However, one day Min-soo contacts Chang-dae with shocking news: Ah-ra is claiming she has a sex tape of herself with Min-soo and is threatening to release it. These former friends must now decide how far they will let jealousy and fame drag them down.
