Spoilers ahead

Jae-sung Lee Joon is an aspiring actor who has hit rock bottom and contemplates suicide. After a harsh insult from his landlady, he seeks a moment of relief in a public sauna, hoping to wash away the sting of failure. There, a different life collides with his when Hyung-wook Yoo Hai-jin, a notorious assassin, is in the sauna after finishing a target. In a chaotic moment, Hyung-wook slips on a soap Jae-sung drops and passes out. Seeing Hyung-wook’s ostentatious, almost luxurious look, Jae-sung makes a impulsive decision: he swaps lockers, steals the other man’s car and money, and disappears into the night. Guilt gnaws at him, and he later tries to return everything to the stranger, only to find Hyung-wook barely conscious in the emergency room.
