Synopsis

Two women return to hometown, uncover friend's tragic death and secrets, confronting past and responsibility.

In-hye and Sun-mi return to their quiet countryside hometown after years away, only to discover their childhood friend Eun-sil has passed away under tragic circumstances. The two women, now living very different lives from their rural roots, find themselves drawn into the mystery surrounding Eun-sil's final days and the vulnerable newborn left behind. As they reconnect with Ji-young, who never left their hometown, the three friends begin to uncover uncomfortable truths about their shared past and the community they once called home. Faced with questions about loyalty, responsibility, and the weight of old friendships, In-hye and Sun-mi must confront what it means to return to a place—and a person—they once left behind.
