Abducted on a rainy night in 1988, the obnoxious drunk, Oh Dae-Su, much to his surprise, wakes up locked in a windowless and dilapidated hotel room, for an unknown reason. There, his invisible and pitiless captors will feed him, clothe him, and sedate him to avert a desperate suicide–and as his only companion and a window to the world is the TV in his stark cell–the only thing that helps Oh Dae-Su keep going is his daily journal. Then, unexpectedly, after fifteen long years in captivity, the perplexed prisoner is deliberately released, encouraged to track down his tormentor to finally get his retribution. However, who would hate Oh Dae-Su so much he would deny him of a quick and clean death?

1988年的一个雨夜,令人厌恶的醉汉吴大洙被绑架。令他大吃一惊的是,他醒来时被锁在一间没有窗户、破旧不堪的酒店房间里,不知什么原因。在那里,他那看不见的、无情的俘虏者将为他提供食物、衣服和镇静剂,以避免绝望的自杀——而作为他唯一的伴侣和世界之窗的是他斯塔克牢房里的电视——唯一能帮助吴大洙继续前进的是他的日报。然后,出乎意料的是,在长达15年的囚禁之后,这个困惑的囚犯被故意释放,并被鼓励追踪折磨他的人,以最终得到报应。然而,谁会如此憎恨吴大洙,以至于拒绝让他快速而干净地死去呢?
