Hye-sun (Shim Eun-kyeong) and her boyfriend Ki-woong (Lee Joon) are hiding from her ex-pimp. One evening they get into a fight and Ki-woong breaks up with her. Hye-sun’s father appears and wants his daughter back. Ki-woong is to help him with that. Meanwhile, a homeless person with a bite on his neck roams the Seoul station and nobody really cares. This starts a night of chaos, fear, despair, and people struggling to stay alive.
With his third animated feature Yeon Sang-ho brilliantly reveals the dark corners of the mind of people living on the margins of society and presents the film as a prequel to his first feature film Train to Busan.
