Three lonely senior citizens who are all 'tough' in life have come together by chance. Two men and one woman. Woo-sik, Hyeong-joon, and Hwa-jin. Their goal is none other than to grease their stomachs! They go around Seoul eating pork belly... and they're done! They gathered for the sole purpose of eating free food.

While eating meat for free, their expressions brighten. They feel good about life. And most of all, they've made friends! That's how their friendship matures, and time passes. After enjoying the last supper, they decide to 'wash their hands'. The three of them are eventually caught by the restaurant owner and end up in jail.

For those who live day to day, 3 million won is a harsh punishment that will make their world crumble. The three of them struggle to come up with the money to pay the fine...
