Plot

The story centers on Ki-hoon, a part-time taxi driver struggling to make ends meet while hoping for a stable future with his partner, Hyun-hee. His life takes a drastic turn when he accidentally hits and kills a man with his taxi at dawn. Unbeknownst to Ki-hoon, the man he struck was involved in a high-stakes situation involving stolen funds from a corrupt businessman. Earlier that day, a mistress and her lover had absconded with the businessman's money, leading to a chaotic pursuit involving hitmen and police. After the man is killed in the collision, Ki-hoon discovers the stolen cash and entrusts it to Hyun-hee, who is working at a convenience store. The narrative converges as the various parties—including the criminals and law enforcement—track the money to the convenience store.
