Hae-won is a middle-rank officer working in a Seoul bank. A stern, tense, single woman, she is brought down by work-related stress and her hypercompetitive environment. Desperate for a change of pace, she takes up an offer from a long-forgotten friend to take a vacation in Mudo, a desolate Southern island where she spent childhood. Arriving at the island, she is warmly welcomed by Bok-nam, with whom she had a close friendship when both were in their teens, but whose constant letters she's since ignored. Life on the undeveloped, socially regressive island is hard, and Bok-nam is treated as little more than a slave by her abusive husband Man-jong, his brother, and the local old women. All of Bok-nam's love is reserved for her young daughter Yeon-hee, with whom she tries to escape from the small, claustrophobic island. When the attempt is foiled by Man-jong and his friends, Bok-nam finally snaps, murdering the island's inhabitants with a sickle.
