A father who moved to Seoul from South Jeolla Province in the 1970s and went through all kinds of hard jobs to raise three children, a mother who cleans buildings even at the age of seventy to sustain herself, a sister who is on the leave to care for two kids, and a boyfriend Mukho, a full-time activist working migrant workers. All of them desperately try to maintain their ordinary life but they eventually find themselves standing perilously at the brink of "downhill society." The writer who has been interested in social problems, starts the story with the individual's life but she does not ignore the problem of social system.
