On what should have been the happiest trip of their lives, Arjun Mehra, an ex-military officer from India, travels to South Korea with his pregnant wife Meera for their honeymoon. But in a single brutal moment, their world shatters.

Caught in the crossfire of a violent gang war on the neon-lit streets of Busan, Meera is tragically killed. Arjun, wounded and broken, barely survives. The woman responsible — Ji-Yeon, a ruthless and enigmatic leader of the Black Vipers syndicate — leaves Arjun for dead, never imagining the storm she’s awakened.

Haunted by grief and driven by vengeance, Arjun must rise from the ashes of his loss. Alone in a foreign land and hunted by dangerous enemies, he draws upon his combat training, martial arts mastery, and sniper skills to track down the woman who stole everything from him.
But the path of revenge is paved with betrayal, blood, and buried secrets. In a world where honor means nothing and loyalty is bought in bullets, Arjun must decide whether he’s a man seeking justice… or a monster born from it.

Crimson Vow is a brutal, emotional, and action-packed thriller about love lost, relentless vengeance, and the unbreakable will of a man who refuses to die quietly.

Crimson Vows, Vengeance Runs Red

The underworld of Busan was restless.

What should have been a time of prosperity for Ji-Yeon's Black Viper Syndicate had instead become a season of unease. Not because of law enforcement. Not because of internal betrayal.

But because someone — or something — was moving through the city's criminal underbelly like a phantom.

The Disappearances

A minor gang in Yeongdo District known as the Dragon Claws went dark.

Their hideout — an abandoned fish warehouse — was found abandoned, blood smears on the walls, crates smashed, and no bodies.

Then came the Seokjin Blades, a street gang operating in the northern docks.

One night, their leader Dae-Hyun left his club and never returned.

The next morning, his car was found under a bridge — doors open, engine running. Blood on the seat. No trace of him.

Over the next two months, four more gangs vanished.

The Broken Suns. The Gunwol 13. The Crimson Shadows. The East Harbor Sons.

Some left signs of a struggle. Others simply vanished into the night.

Whispers in the Underworld

In the gambling dens and back alleys, stories spread in hushed voices.

"Moves like a shadow. Strikes without sound."

Some claimed it was a foreign assassin brought in by the Russian mob.

Others whispered darker things — that the spirits of the dead from the Gukje Market massacre had returned for vengeance.

And every gang left standing grew paranoid.

Men patrolled with rifles in hand. Bosses refused to leave their hideouts. Low-level soldiers fled the city. Black-market arm dealers tripled their prices.

And in the heart of it all, Ji-Yeon sat in her gilded office, her perfect world beginning to crack.

Ji-Yeon's Suspicion

Her lieutenants gathered around a blood-red map marked with pins where gangs had disappeared.

"This isn't random," grunted Chul-Woo, her enforcer. "Someone's targeting our enemies. Clearing the field."

Ji-Yeon's eyes narrowed. "Not for our benefit."

"No one's claimed responsibility," another murmured.

"They won't," Ji-Yeon said coldly, rising from her chair. "Cowards strike from the shadows."

A strange unease crept through her — one she hadn't felt in years.

She turned toward the window, the neon glow painting her pale face.

Could it be… him?

Dead men didn't crawl out of graves.

Still… a small voice whispered in the back of her mind.

What if this one did?
