"At the start we promised to keep each other alive.. are you going to break that promise?"

Em Delvaux was greedy, maybe too greedy. To the point of being billions of won deep in debt, her life was at stake and her mum was oblivious to it all.

She cursed out loud when she missed her bus, as it was the last one of the day, but as she sat on the bench in defeat, she got introduced to the child's game of ddakji.

Who knew a simple game of ddakji would lead her to a whole world of greed, with hundreds of others also in debt. Trading lives for money,

Through all the blood, through all the cries and losses, Em encountered another girl. A 'pickpocket.'

Who knew these two would end up where they were, promising each other with cloth rings and intertwined pinkies that they would stay together till the end.

Until the last game, where they were put together, but not in the way they imagined.
