Synopsis

Eun-yi, a middle-aged divorcee, is hired as an upper class family housemaid. But soon enough, master of the house Hoon takes advantage of his social position by slipping into her sheets. As Hoon’s visits become frequent, Eun-yi miraculously becomes pregnant and wants to keep the baby. This is discovered by the family and she’s forced to have an abortion. Her forced abortion turns Eun-yi’s mental condition for the worst and she decides to take the matter into her own hands.
