The narrator is a 13-year-old boy, who is about to start middle school. His father stays home since injuring his leg during a demolition job; his mother earns a living from running a food cart; and his older brother has mental disability. This family of four is barely surviving as they live in the rooftop room at Cheongun Multi-Unit Housing. On the first day of the last winter break of sixth grade, the narrator sees a fox on the roof. No one believes that he saw a fox, except for an old man who plays the saxophone at night. After seeing the fox, I learn many secrets about people and the world.
