On a day trip through the countryside, aspiring opera singer In-jeong (Cha Ye-ryun), flees to the woods to escape the advances of her lecherous professor and mentor, Yeong-sun (Lee Byuong-jun). When a seemingly harmless local man (Lee Mun-shik) offers her a ride to the bus station, In-jeong thinks she's been saved -- until he insists that they stop to meet his friends, a disturbed group of country-bred thugs. In-jeong finds herself reunited with Yeong-sun and it slowly becomes clear that the pair is being held captive to participate in the gang's sadistic mind games. Writer/Director Won Shin-yun crafts a pitch-black comedy of violence; one that examines the power struggles that exist even at the lowest rung of society.
