After he had to close his business, Jung-man has been doing night shifts at a public bath, earning just enough to get by and take care of his old mother who suffers from dementia.

When he finds a bag filled with cash in a locker, he feels conflicted on what to do with such a large sum of money. Tae-yeong, a civil servant at the immigration service, gets into trouble when a loan shark comes after him to get back the money his girlfriend borrowed and for which he stood surety.

He devises a scheme to embezzle money from a friend, but nothing goes as planned and winds up with a dead body on his hands. Mi-ran has lost money in bad investments and is now working as a bar hostess. One day, a young man falls for her, but she intends to use him to get rid of her violent husband once and for all.

From first-time director KIM Yong-hun comes a star-strutted thriller that brings together JEON Do-yeon (Secret Sunshine, 2007), JUNG Woo-sung (The Good, the Bad, and the Weird, 2008) and YOUN Yuh-jung (The Taste of Money, 2012).
