Freedom is a philosophy, a state, an ensemble of feelings; it's interpreted differently by each individual. But in general, freedom is the right to live your life exactly as you want and as you please, without the intervention of others. Freedom can be linked to life in a confined, personal, or social environment; being influenced by the perceptions of those around, as well as by the law.

For Jeongguk, being free means feeling at home, living happily with your loved ones.

By the time he was 17, he thought he was in the right place, that he was the happiest, and didn't imagine that everything could fall apart in just a few seconds, just because of a phone call announcing his sister's death. At that moment he lost not only a ray of light from his life, but all the sun went out. His parents forgot about his existence. The atmosphere in his house suffocated him.

About a boy who flees the place he considered home to seek happiness, befriending beggars, stealing to eat, becoming addicted to drugs to save his life.

His new life is no better, problems lurk around every corner and the future is uncertain.

Freedom is a foreign concept to him, but can this change when a certain Kim Taehyung appears in his path?

Will Jeongguk taste freedom with him or is he destined to be a lost soul, a prisoner of life, until he dies?

About happiness and sadness.
About love and hate.
About friendship and enmity.
About hope and despair, death, addiction, freedom, and bondage.
About trust and betrayal.

About life.
