Dae-shik lives off the streets. He once dreamed of becoming
a mountaineer and reaches the top of the Himalayas. But now
he lives dreamlessly on the streets day by day. No one knows
about his past, and he hates it when people ask about it. One
day, he discovers a drunken man passed out on the road and in
pain. He only passes him by, but he can never forget his face.
Il-joo swallows a fistful of medication and lives another day.
She drinks with strangers, dances with them, and then sleeps
with them. Thanks to some customers who unusually ordered coffee
from a beach, she can luckily see the sea today. But the sea
keeps calling Il-joo to drown in its belly. She bids it's call,
but a firm hand grabs Il-joo and pulls her out of the deep waters
of the ocean. It's no other than one of the customers who ordered
the coffee, Dae-shik. She doesn't know why, but she feels something
for him, and curious to know what kind of person he is.
Suk-won's life goes to ruin when his stocks hit rock bottom.
As he loiters around the streets, Dae-shik helps him out of
his depression. Suk-won is doubtful of his appearance, but he
has no choice to ask for his help. Dae-shik offers Suk-won to
go on a road trip together with him and he agrees. Being sick
of Seoul and even hating it, Suk-won is somewhat excited to
go on a journey that has no destination. Dae-shik, Suk-won and
Il-joo are off on a journey to find freedom from their woes.
As they encounter new faces and places, they learn more about
themselves and their feelings for each other.
