A morally complex, melancholic examination of female friendship, exploitation, and redemption set against the backdrop of illegal sex work and Catholic guilt.
Jae-Young is an amateur prostitute who sleeps with men while her best friend Yeo-Jin "manages" her, fixing dates, taking care of the money, and making sure the coast is clear. When Jae-Young falls in love with one of those men, she suppresses her feelings towards him in respect of her friend who's jealous.
