A solitary woman re-evaluates her isolated existence after her neighbour dies alone in his apartment. Jina, who works at a credit card company call centre, avoids building close relationships, choosing instead to live and work alone.

When one day her irritating neighbour is discovered dead, having died alone in his apartment, the relationships that Jina decided to ignore in the past suddenly start to ‘bug’ her.
