The official synopsis states, “Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and end their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway.
