One day, he runs into a long-lost childhood friend named Hae Mi (Jeon Jong Seo). The two get to talking and rekindle their friendship.

But when she returns, she does so in the company of Ben (Steven Yeun), an affluent, Porsche-driving big-city type who appears to have won Hae Mi’s heart.

However, Ben is a man of mystery, and one day confesses to Jong Su that he has a dangerous hobby: arson. He, and Hae Mi, then promptly disappear, leaving Jong Su eager to track them down – before Hae Mi’s passion for him quells, and Ben’s frightening pastime gets out of hand…
