Fixed-term contract teacher Eun Chae discovers In Gook, a student at her school, being assaulted by a bunch of gangsters while on her way home. Eun Chae, who gets reminded of her trauma from domestic violence since her childhood, abandons the student in fear and runs away. The next day, as she sees In Gook's empty seat from not attending school and gets flooded with guilt, she receives a video from an anonymous number of her abandoning In Gook and running away. Eun Chae, who is in danger of losing her job, goes in search of the person who sent the video. In doing so, she learns of In Gook's pain, who has the same wounds as her. (Source: ilchodo Twitter)
