Police and criminals toe a fine line in a game of life and death in the twisty new thriller No Way Out: The Roulette. Led by Cho Jin-woong (Signal) and Yoo Jae-myung (Itaewon Class), this hard-boiled series is the drama debut of film director Choi Kook-hee (Default, Life Is Beautiful).
Cho plays Baek Joong-sik, a detective who has been scammed out of a lot of money and desperately needs to raise some funds. Joong-sik is assigned to investigate the curious case of butcher Yoon Chang-jae (Lee Kwang-soo, Live), who is in hospital after his ear was sliced off.

Joong-sik’s investigation leads him to the home of Im Ji-hong (Hyun Bong-sik, Gyeongseong Creature), where he stumbles upon a carrier case emblazoned with a mysterious logo and stuffed with a billion won in cash.
Ji-hong makes a run for it when he returns home and, after being chased by Joong-sik, falls over and dies. Confronted with his dire circumstances, Joong-sik slips the case into the boot of his car before calling in the death.
