Long ago in the Korean kingdom of Joseon, a long-time rivalry between two young noblemen leads to a plot for revenge.  Unfortunately for Young Min, the nobleman being revenged upon, this only leads to being terribly misunderstood and cursed with a crippling affliction.
    
    It isn't his best day.
    
    When his curse only worsens, Young Min sets off to find a cure in the next town over.  A mountain stands between him and his destination, and the path is rumored to be haunted--though the travelers themselves might be more dangerous than the spirits.  Along the way, Young Min gets caught up in a mystery involving a crossdressing girl, ghost-fearing musicians, and a horde of belligerent robbers.  Everywhere he turns, there seems to be something else blocking him from getting to his destination and finding a cure, especially after the mountain's nine-tailed  fox is forced out of hiding.
    
    She doesn't like helping people, and she's not happy.
