High school student Yoon-su suffers from an unbearable burden. One of his friends committed suicide after a trivial remark he made became a vicious rumor. Traumatized by the experience, his family moves to a rural village, where he witnesses a mysterious young girl skating by herself on a frozen lake. But as he gets to know her better, he's exposed to vicious rumors surrounding her – that she has an incestious relationship with her father. Wanting to redeem himself, he vows to protect her from the rumors that are spreading. But one night, Yoon-su witnesses Hye-won going into her father’s room with a knife in her hand. The following day, her dad is found dead in his home and his hand cut off. As the situation takes a turn for the worst, he makes a decision that sends him over the point of no return in order to shield her from the rest of the villagers.
