Synopsis

At the TV station, everything is running as usual. But today, something is a bit unusual… Dak bursts into the customer service department and takes hostages. The manager, Mr. Smile, is trapped inside. He just wants to go home. It turns out Dak doesn’t want money. He wants to “cut the service” and stop his subscription… Inspector Shan doesn’t believe him at all. She suspects he may be a terrorist in disguise. Even the SWAT team arrives. The “cutting service” process is very complicated. The hostages are calling hotlines and following procedures, driving everyone mad. Dak loses his patience and demands to speak directly to the Boss of the TV company! The boss is panicking, and Shan is frustrated. The weather is hot, and the air conditioning is overloading. Everyone is on the verge of collapsing. This absurd situation is heading towards a ridiculous ending…
