Plot
Former national archery team medalist Jin-bong, now a top candidate for corporate downsizing, is given one last chance to prove himself by his company. His journey takes him deep into the Amazon, where he narrowly escapes death and encounters three warriors, Sika, Iva, and Walbu, each possessing divine archery skills. Believing he has found his way to survival, Jin-bong teams up with Korean-descended Boledoran interpreter Bbang-sik to bring the master archers back to Korea.
