In the late 1980s, at the height of the Cold War, a diplomatic skirmish between North and South Korea breaks out on the African continent over the latter's campaign to join the United Nations.

In 1991, three years after the opening of a South Korean Embassy, Somalia's capital Mogadishu is engulfed in civil war, leaving the South Korean diplomats trapped. The North Korean embassy, meanwhile, faces the same situation. The diplomats of these two nations, who in the outside world are sworn enemies must embark on a joint escape.

The personnel and the families of both the South Korean and the North Korean Embassies together now share the same goal, to escape from Mogadishu.
