Dead-End Job, the Halloween release

Hyuk-jun, a young man in debt, takes a part-time job that pays 50 times the usual hourly wage through a mysterious agency called Spyder Human Resource Center. The job soon turns into a nightmare. Lee Jae Wook plays Hyuk-jun, and Go Min Si plays an investigator determined to find out what is going on at the agency. Kim Min Ha and Lee Hee Joon complete the cast. Spanish-language press calls it “Trabajo sin salida”.
