Taeko leads a tranquil life – she is happily married with Jiro and she has a child and a good job. Her quasi-idyllic routine is torn apart when Park, Taeoko’s child biological father, shows up. Park is an unstable, violent person, but Taeko won’t turn her back on him and decides to help him, which will cause further strain on her life and her family’s.
