Jong-du, who has three previous convictions, pays a visit to the family of the victim in the hit-and-run accident for which he served time and meets Gong-ju, the daughter, who has cerebral palsy. Jong-du is fascinated by her at first sight and visits her again when he knows she is alone. Trying to reassure and pacify the terrified young woman, he loses control and starts to rape her, stopping only when she faints. But he has left his workshop phone number in her room, and Gong-ju knows where to find him. To Jong-du's amazement, she calls him and invites him to visit her again.

Chaos erupts, and Jong-du is arrested and charged with raping a helpless, handicapped woman…
