Earnest and obedient, Pao helps his gangster boss “handle" all kinds of matters, constantly putting himself at risk in return for a bit of money to help with the family expenses. But deep down, Pao harbors a secret — he has feelings for Mi-ji, the prisoner who took “special care" of him the last time he was incarcerated. When Mi-ji is released from prison, Pao is excited for their reunion, only to find himself neglected, rendering his pent-up desires more difficult to control than any underworld loyalties or obligations.
