In the heart of Asia, Ho-un Corporation stands as a giant in the illegal drug trade, camouflaging itself under the guise of a legitimate food company.
Che-ran, the true heiress of this empire, mysteriously vanished two years ago. Her husband, Kang-woo, had been concealing her disappearance, but with the launch of a new drug product nearing, he had no choice but to reveal the truth to the Chairman of Ho-un Corporation, his father. The missing Che-ran, the sole individual capable of flawlessly replicating the drug formula, posed a threat to the company's operations. Thus, Kang-woo embarks on a belated quest to find her.
Shortly after, Kang-woo receives a tip that Che-ran is living in a tiny 1K apartment in Tokyo's Setagaya district, Japan. Upon arrival, Che-ran, the woman he desperately seeks, is nowhere to be found. Instead, he encounters a man named Do-hwa, who claims to be Che-ran's caretaker.
A suspenseful love story between two men, stemming from an odd mandate to meet a woman, unfolds amidst a torrential downpour in a sweltering summer.
