Mysterious Ha-young has become a celebrity by taming and training dogs. When her chaotic sister appears—freshly released from prison—her carefully ordered world begins to unravel.

The controlled and successful Ha-young lives with her aspiring but somewhat unsuccessful writer husband in their rigidly well-organized home, where she is firmly in command—just as she is at the dog kennel. When her sister Sora, who has served time for murder, insinuates herself into their lives, chaos erupts both at home and at work, and long-suppressed emotions rise to the surface. Debut director Seo Eun-sun steadily builds tension, gradually revealing the hidden conflict between the sisters. The ending of this psychological thriller is both surprising and shocking.
