Hee-Jin (Suh Jung) is the groundkeeper who leads a solitary existence, selling bait to the fishermen by day, and her body by night. When Hyun-shik (Kim Yoo-Suk) an ex-cop who murdered his girlfriend for her infidelity arrives, Hee-Jin watches, fascinated by his apparent loss of the will to live. To end his despair Hyun-Shik attempts to shoot himself, but his suicide attempt is prevented by Hee-Jin, an act which is the catalyst for their intimate feelings for each other. A police visit to the isle, in pursuit of a suspect leads to their target becoming fatally wounded whilst attempting escape.

Their physical relationship becomes obsessive, intense and consuming and their fates inextricably entwined as they spiral towards their shocking and unexpected fate. |
