In the year 2004 in Seoul, South Korea, a group of bikers are joy-riding through the streets and while their leader the teenage Han Gi-su (Lee Min-gi) is tearfully berated by girlfriend Chun-shim (Kang Ye-won) for scorning her. The biker Kim Myeong-sik (Kim In-kwon) is attracted to Chun-shim watches dolefully. Following some heavy traffic, Gi-su executes a perfect bike jump over it.
Six year later Gi-su is working as a bike messenger. After delivering a package to an office, the building blows up just after he leaves. Gi-su doesn't think his package was connected to the blast. Gi-su is later asked to drive Ah-rom, the lead vocalist of girl group OK Girls, to a televised stadium concert that she is late for. To his surprise, he finds that she is actually Chun-shim who is still angry at how she was treated years earlier. He offer her his helmet, unaware that it's been switched for an identical one rigged with an explosive. Gi-su receives a phone call and is told to deliver three packages already stowed in his bike, with a 30-minute delivery time for each package. If they exceed the time limit or if Chun-shim tries to take off the helmet then it will explode. Meanwhile the police, led by Detective Seo (Ko Chang-seok) and NPCC team leader Kim (Ju Jin-mo) examine the CCTV tape in the building that exploded and believe that Gi-su is potentially the bomber.
