Synopsis
Yeon-hee once dreamed of happiness. But where that dream shattered, obsession and a destructive instinct began to rise.

Yeon-hee is a woman who works tirelessly day and night. By day, she slices meat at a meat-processing factory; by night, she works as a substitute driver. Her beloved husband and daughter died in an accident, leaving behind an overwhelming debt she'll struggle to repay for the rest of her life. Every payday, a loan shark comes to take her wages, and she barely scrapes by on her earnings from driving.

Ever since the accident, perhaps due to her longing for her daughter, she survives only on chocolate. Her teeth are ruined, and malnutrition has made her body painfully thin. Still, she gasps for breath, fighting to survive.

The only small escape keeping her alive is So-jin, her late husband's friend. But when she learns the truth behind her husband's death and the hypocrisy hiding beneath So-jin's kindness, she spirals into an uncontrollable urge to destroy, without realizing it herself.
