A wry, character-driven comedy about workplace embarrassment and social anxiety that uses a misunderstanding to explore isolation, connection, and the search for meaning in everyday life.

A couple's hospital tryst is caught on X-Ray. Thinking she and her boyfriend are the ones in the compromising radiograph, nurse Yoon-young goes in the next day to resign only to find that everyone has called in sick except the head doctor.
