action
Inae works as a female bodyguard. One day she witnessed her disabled sister being raped by a politician. She attacks him and stabs one eye out. For this, however, she has to go to prison for a year and a half.
When Inae comes out of prison, she is happy to see her younger sister Eunhye again. This is regularly bullied in the school and exploited and raped by the people. She doesn't tell her sister, however. Three classmates force Eunhye to show older men, take them to the hotel room, leave the door open and then call from the bathroom. This is the signal that a couple of guys come into the room and attack and rob the seduced man.
Inae worries that her sister is not coming home. But it's too early for the police to take action. At the same time, Eunhye and the boys run into a gangster who no longer wants to sack Eunhye. Instead, he wants to sell them.
Inae got hold of this person through her classmates and started the persecution.
