Dramatic, dangerous and crime-ridden, Knock-Off dives into the murky world of counterfeit goods, following a man whose life is ruined in the wake of the ’97 Asian financial crisis. Desperate to rebuild what he once had, Sungjun finds himself drawn into the knock-off goods trade, quickly climbing up to the top of the counterfeit market scene.
