Overview: Seong-won used to be an entertainer back in the day, but now he's a novelist, and he moves to a countryside house with his wife for peace and quiet. Whilst cleaning out the workroom, he finds some strange items and becomes curious. Yeon-seo goes to work and Seong-won returns to the attic to find a disconnected videocassette recorder, which he reconnects. Just then, the bell rings and the woman next door, Do-hee, brings him some homemade bread. He's not interested in this woman who recognizes him, but he can't help but be bothered by her strange actions. When she leaves, Seong-won watches the video and is surprised to see Do-hee on there, being whipped. Do-hee keeps coming back to the house to seduce Seong-won even when Yeon-seo is around...
