| Overview: | A cafe in the heart of Seoul's entertainment district, a group of teenage boys are coaxing some girls to take off their clothes. The floor becomes a scene of madness as one of them, Chang, uses violence to get his way. With the assistance of Han, Sari manages to escape.
For Sari, the only true thing she has is earning money by serving at bars and spending it motel-hopping to sniff solvents. The childhood trauma of incestuous rape drives her to refuse 'doing the bad thing(having sex)'. But to Han, her innocence is more than attractive and they eventually shacks up together.
Chang is a ragged-edged teenager with a chip on his shoulder. He explodes at parents who beat their children, and has no qualms about cursing and wielding his fists. Despite his lack of compassion, Ran, a runaway who works at a bar and sells her body to older men, gives him her heart, soul and her money.
One day, trying to forget suffocating reality, even for a little while, the four kids take off on their stolen motorcycles. The only thing that awaits them is a polluted sea.
Realizing that hope is nowhere to be found, they return more bitter than ever: Chang and Han, to a juvenile detention center; Sari and Ran to life as bar girls/prostitutes. Time passes and Han, released from the detention center, searches for Sari, now the woman of bar manager, Yong-ho who always had his eye on her. Han explodes with rage and despair...
