The film is a crime drama about reporter Im Sang-jin, who learns of the existence of the 'comment squad' through a tip-off about online public opinion manipulation, and encounters a massive entity while investigating them. Director Ahn Guk-jin, who directed 'Alice in Earnestland' (2015), is at the helm.

Kim Sung-chul plays Jjingppeotking, who leads public opinion manipulation with quick wit to earn illicit money. Kim Dong-hwi portrays Chatatkat, who tips off the reporter about the existence of the comment squad, and Hong Kyung plays Fabtech, who experiences the power of online public opinion manipulation and gradually becomes immersed in it.

Son Seok-gu said, "I am happy to work with people I wanted to collaborate with," and added, "We will all do our best to create a great work." Director Ahn Guk-jin said, "I feel nervous and excited," and vowed, "We will make a good film that audiences can enjoy in theaters."
