A respected priest volunteers for an experimental procedure that may lead to a cure for a deadly virus. He gets infected and dies, but a blood transfusion of unknown origin brings him back to life. Now, he’s torn between faith and bloodlust, and has a newfound desire for the wife of a childhood friend.

In a peaceful countryside village—known for its clear water and fresh air—lived a simple, honest, if somewhat foolish family of three. One day, two swindlers named Madam Oh and Yong-pal show up, casting a dark shadow over their lives. Through cunning schemes and deception, the family is manipulated and ends up losing their land and home overnight. From the shock, the father, Cheon-seok, collapses. Determined to catch the con artists, Hyung-rae (Young-gu) heads to Seoul—marking the beginning of his difficult life in the city.
