The Town That Was

Two killers are living in our town An ordinary small town is terrorized when local women are found brutally murdered and 'crucified' in public places. Gyeong-joo, a struggling novelist, impulsively kills his landlady during a fierce argument over rent. With the recent murders, he decides to stage the killing so that it looks like the act of the serial killer. Mimicking the details of previous killings, Gyeong-joo (Oh Man-seok) hangs the dead body in the village park. The police and media believe the case is the work of the same serial killer, but Hyoi (Ryu Deok-hwan), who runs a small stationery shop in the neighborhood, knows something really interesting has happened. He knows that it is a copycat crime because he is the real killer. While Gyeong-joo's childhood buddy and police officer Jae-shin (Lee Sun-kyun) begins to suspect that there may be a second killer, anxious Gyeong-joo and Hyoi, begin their own secret investigations to track down each other.
