Chae Su-ho, who fled after betraying a Russian mafia organization, meets Yeon Ha-rin, a teacher living alone in the official residence of a rural branch school. Ha-rin, who loathes gangsters, and Su-ho, who never enters deep relationships with women. A cohabitation of just one single season.

That summer, she was light to him. A light that enchanted even the lowliest beast without even four feet.
