It's been a year since Hee-su vanished along with every penny of the

Se-kyung. Single mother Seo-hee shows up asking Youn-ho for the money
his mother borrowed despite once thinking of Hee-su as a mother figure.
His mother's debtors'

means, or the will, to compensate for their losses. The persistent
Seo-hee, however, proposes a deal: she'll drop any charges if Youn-ho
agrees to meet his mother with her. Come meeting day, Seo-hee doesn't

their return to Seoul, Seo-hee hears that Hee -su has turned herself in
