It is 1970. Shortly after departing Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, a commercial aircraft bound for Itazuke is taken over by members of the Red Army Faction, armed with pistols and blades and demanding that the flight be rerouted to Pyongyang. The fact that Japan and North Korea share no infrastructure to facilitate such a landing is only one among a rapidly growing list of kinks in the zealous hijackers’ plan.
Meanwhile, in Seoul, a mysterious figure known only as “Nobody”— a man whose work turns up on the nightly news but whose name is never uttered — is called in to advise on a secret intervention. Intelligence and military agencies from Japan, South Korea, and the US deploy several strategies, from double parking on the runway during refueling to attempting to hijack a radio signal. They might just bring the hostages to safety — if they don’t create an even bigger disaster with their insane shenanigans.
