Synopsis
Spoiler shield
A man named Jin-gu, fleeing Seoul after accidentally committing murder while defending himself, is torn between escaping with his lover, Jeong-ae, and his growing entanglement in a criminal conspiracy. After a series of dangerous encounters and close calls with the police, Jin-gu desperately seeks Jeong-ae, only to find her being tailed by detectives. As their attempts to reunite are continuously thwarted, Jin-gu's journey reflects not only his personal guilt but also the tragic fate of those, like Jeong-ae, caught in circumstances beyond their control. In the end, Jin-gu faces the consequences of his actions, while Jeong-ae silently endures the weight of their doomed love.
