Set in the brutal era of the 1970s and 80s, Sung-min (LEE Hong-nae), his three siblings, and his mother move to a tranquil country cottage in Taiwan after their killer father is imprisoned. Sung-min meets a local girl, Rihwa (Vivian SUNG), and dreams of a fresh start. However, tragedy strikes when Sung-min’s mother suddenly dies. Fearing her children being sent to orphanages, she asks Sung-min to keep her death a secret until he becomes an adult in six months. He follows her will and lives on with his siblings until a major disruption occurs as his father finds them and barges in with a gun. As Sung-min fights to save his siblings and Rihwa, the film questions whether the true source of horror derives from a specific individual or the violence imposed by the brutal era itself.
