Dreaming of becoming a writer, alienated Jong-su, the frustrated son of an imprisoned farmer, takes odd jobs to make a living. Then, one day, Jong-su runs into Hae-mi, a lively childhood friend and aspiring actress, and as one thing leads to another, agrees to feed her cat while she takes off on an extended trip to Africa. In the meantime, as Jong-su waits for her return, he takes great joy in fantasising about Hae-mi, spending increasingly more time in her tiny apartment. Eventually, Hae-mi returns; however, much to Jong-su's chagrin, she arrives with Ben, a privileged, sophisticated, empty Korean man she met at the Nairobi Airport. But as envy turns into suspicion and confusion into lovesickness, unexpectedly, Jong-su learns of Ben's secret obsession. Is Hae-mi in danger?
