Plot

The brothers returns to their hometown, K-eup, after receiving the news of their father's death. For them, their homeland was just something they wanted to escape and avoid. However, when the two brothers return to their hometown, they read their father's will and learn a family secret they had not known. As they trace the steps of their secretive father and the truths he had to hide, they begin to rethink their hometown and father.
