Kyuri is a heartbreakingly beautiful woman with a hard-won job at an exclusive bar where she entertains wealthy businessmen while they drink. Though she prides herself on her cold, clear-eyed approach to life, an impulsive mistake with a client one evening suddenly threatens her livelihood. Meanwhile, her roommate Miho finds herself in an impossible relationship with the super-wealthy heir to one of Korea's biggest companies. Together, they give us a gripping picture of their unfamiliar world of cultural hierarchies, yet unmistakably universal in the ways their tentative friendships will prove their saving grace.
