Overview
A street hooker named Hyeon-ah (Jeon Yoo-jin) is locked up topless in the pension of a man named Jeong-ho (Heo Dong-won) who saved her from her pimp's abuse and beatings. She was locked up for no reason and every time she struggles against him, he hits her. A couple visiting the pension find Hyeon-ah and the man who wanted to rape her is killed by Jeong-ho. Hyeon-ah tries to run away from him but realizes she has nowhere to go.
