A bittersweet homecoming story about a struggling rapper forced to confront his past and his relationship with his father in the small town he once escaped.

On the day that underground rapper Hak-soo fails his 7th audition, he receives a call from his hometown that his father is in the hospital. But he finds out that it was his father's plot to bring him to Byeon-san. To top it all, he is suspected as a phishing scam criminal and locked up in this small, boring suburb.
