Tae-ju, a murderer serving a life sentence in prison, is given a temporary release to save the life of a seriously ill young girl, Se-hee, who suffers from Wilson's disease and desperately needs a liver transplant. Se-hee is the daughter of Yeong-woo, and old friend of Tae-ju's who is now a police officer. Upon discovering that Se-hee's now deceased mother was his ex-girlfriend, Tae-ju realises that he is in fact her biological father, and does everything he can to try and save her life.
Prior to the release of the film, actors Shin Hyun-jun and Heo Joon-ho staged a charity concert in Seoul, intended to reflect on the main themes of the film. The concert was held on 24 January 2008, at the Melon-X concert hall, and featured performances from K-pop artists Baek Ji-young and KCM, as well as actress Choi Ji-woo. Admission to the concert was free, with voluntary donations being made to the KBS TV charity program "Love Request".[1]
