For two years, Ji In-Ju has endured a grueling existence as a manager at his company, trapped under the relentless control of Team Leader Lee. Because Lee is both his direct superior and his former school senior, the abuse runs deep, manifesting as constant physical violence and insidious gaslighting that has left In-Ju accustomed to mistreatment. His professional life is a cycle of subjugation, with no apparent escape from the man who torments him daily. Everything shifts when the partner from an impulsive one-night stand unexpectedly joins the same company as In-Ju’s new subordinate. Rather than distancing himself from the newcomer, In-Ju finds that he does not resent this person's touch or their growing interference in his life. The unexpected closeness introduces a complicated dynamic into his already fractured world. As the boundaries between them blur, In-Ju is forced to confront a difficult question: can this unforeseen connection genuinely rescue someone so deeply conditioned to accept violence, or is it merely the beginning of another toxic entanglement?
