The film brings together a cast of box office guaranteed actors such as Ryu Seung Ryong, Jin Sun Kyu, Go Kyoung Pyo and Lee Soon Won.

The plot revolves around Jin Bong (Ryu Seung Ryong), a former national archery champion, now just an ordinary office worker after retiring.

Faced with the prospect of being fired, he is forced to take on the impossible mission of flying to the other side of the world in a desperate attempt to keep his job.

After a near-fatal accident, Ji Bong "landed" unwillingly in the Amazon forest, where he met the indigenous trio Sika, Eeba and Walbu - talented archers with outstanding skills.

Believing they are the key to saving him, Jin Bong teams up with Bbang Sik (Jin Sun Kyu), a clumsy but enthusiastic translator, to bring three archery warriors to Korea to carry out a daring plan.

The film is inspired by the folk legend of “ghost possession” to build a plot revolving around a family working in porcelain inlay in Hue - a unique culture of the Nguyen Dynasty, addressing issues of class and male superiority over female.

In particular, the image of a procession of zombies and paper figures not only symbolizes disaster or bad omen but also embodies karma.
