Struggling nurse Hye-rim (Seo Young-hee) works in the VIP ward where she cares for paralyzed tycoon Kim, who has been kept tenuously alive for years through the power and money of his greedy son Sang-woo (Kim Young-min). Kim is in need of a heart transplant, and Sang-woo has found an ideal donor in comatose pregnant patient Mi-na (Kwon So-hyun). Asked to find Mi-na’s next of kin, Hye-rim gradually unravels her past and develops a protective bond with this tragic woman, who was continually met with derision and abuse her entire life. Like in her previous Pluto, director Shin Su-won’s compelling drama exposes the dark underside of a callous, elitist world permeated with institutional corruption and ruthless disregard for life.
