Living without any parental supervision, teenager Jun-kang and his little sister are trying to survive and avoid eviction. Nearby, another teenager, Gi-su, also leads a lonely existence without his parents. As their connection is gradually revealed, the fates of the two adolescent boys are put on a collision path.
An unforgettable drama about pain, trauma, and ultimately forgiveness, Kim Sung-yoon’s intense directorial debut shows how a horrific crime can become a vortex that indiscriminately sucks in anyone it can touch. Must families of criminals bear the sins of another? Or are they naturally guilty by association when there is no one else left to blame?
