Plot

The story follows Hyeong-Goo (played by Cho Jin-Woong), a detective investigating a suspicious fire at a home in a rural village. The victims of the fire are a married couple, Soo-Hyeok (Bae Soo-Bin) and Yi-Young (Cha Soo-Yeon). During his investigation, Hyeong-Goo becomes suspicious of two local residents, Hae-Kyun (Jung Hae-Kyun) and Doo-Hee (Jang Won-Young).

Following a mysterious turn of events, Hyeong-Goo wakes up to find his reality fundamentally altered. The house that he previously investigated as a fire-damaged crime scene now stands intact, and the villagers treat him as a teacher rather than a detective. His former life, including his career and family, has vanished, forcing him to navigate a world where his identity is no longer recognized.

Production

The film was originally developed under the working title Close To You. It represents a transition for Jung Jin-Young from his established career as an actor to that of a writer and director.
