Synopsis

A former underworld figure, known for his fierce reputation, is imprisoned and discovers he has a child. Determined to change, he starts a humble barbecue stall after release, avoiding those who still seek his leadership. But when his daughter is bullied, he steps in—exposing his identity. His old allies rally behind him, and those who hurt his daughter face consequences. Proving his resolve, he leaves the past behind to stand by his family.
