High school student HAN Ji-woo (KIM Dong-hwi) is desperate about his math class. No matter how hard he tries, he only achieves below-average exam results and is about to give up. One day, he meets janitor LEE Hak-sung (CHOI Min-shik), who turns out to be a math professor who escaped from North Korea. Unwillingly, Hak-sung agrees to tutor Ji-woon. The two develop a friendship until Hak-sung’s past haunts him again and their friendship is put to the test.
