Young-gil, a delivery driver whose dream was to marry his girlfriend and live in an apartment overlooking the Han River, wins big at a casino and proposes to her in front of Harim and Harim’s mother, Myeong-ae.
But soon after, he loses all the money he had saved, along with 10 million won he borrowed from a pawnshop broker, Jeong-seop, using his truck as collateral. Returning to Seoul empty-handed, he borrows another 10 million won from Myeong-ae to reclaim his truck and heads back to Gangwon Province—only to enter the casino once again.

After losing everything, Young-gil hitchhikes back toward Seoul and ends up in the car of Jin-su, a high school teacher.

As they drive through a snowy mountain pass, Young-gil notices a handbag inside the car. A scuffle breaks out as he tries to take the bag and the car, and the two tumble into the winter fields.

Out of guilt for injuring Jin-su’s hand, Young-gil apologizes and offers to drive for him. But when he opens the trunk, he discovers the corpse of Jeong-seop, the pawnshop owner.
