One evening, he tries to drive home drunk, but his manager jumps into the passenger seat and pleads with him to not drive. Rather than listen to reason, Baek Se-Jin floors the accelerator and runs several red lights before his car is sideswiped by another vehicle. His manager dies on impact and, from the shock of the incident, Baek Se-Jin is no longer able to speak.

One year later, Baek Se-Jin arrives on a small island by an invitation from an elementary school principle.
