A flight attendant named Hong Yuna commits suicide. She leaves a will addressed to her father whom she hasn't met for about 10 years. Her father, Hong Jeunggeun, was an Air Force colonel who received a dishonorable discharge for being involved in a corruption scandal that stirred the whole nation 10 years ago. On the day of his daughter's funeral, he hears from Cheolyeong, a friend of Yuna's, that her death is not a suicide. The story is that the company spread bad rumors about Yuna and a married first flight attendant who was a central member of the labor union. After the funeral, Jeunggeun begins to meet those who were close to Yuna to discover the truth behind her death. In this searching for what really happened, the fragmented pieces of Yuna's life are fitted together through the memories kept by her boyfriend Juhan and her friend Younghoon who drove a military vehicle for Jeunggeun in the military and had a close relationship with Yuna.
