Her daily routine consists of working, drinking, and attending church, yet she remains unable to escape the pain of her loss. Her life changes when a young man named Min-gu, who was recently released from prison, joins her company. The arrival of Min-gu serves as a catalyst for Jeong-ju, as his presence reminds her of a specific event that occurred twelve years prior.
