Synopsis

After graduating from the police academy, Young-nam rose to the ranks of upper management in Seoul, but censure for misconduct gets her transferred to a small seaside town. On her first day, she keeps bumping into the odd, strangely dressed teenaged Dohee. When Young-nam catches Dohee’s stepfather, Yong-ha, beating her and intervenes, Dohee experiences someone defending her for the first time in her life. Young-nam invites Dohee to stay with her to protect her, marking the next chapter of their lives—a chapter that ends when Young-nam’s longtime friend and lover visits.
