Synopsis: Sang-hyun (SONG Kang Ho) runs a laundry business but is constantly in debt. Dong-soo (GANG Dong Won) grew up in an orphanage and now works at a facility that takes in abandoned babies. One rainy night, they pick up a baby that was left at the facility. The next day, So-young (LEE Ji Eun), the child’s mother, returns unexpectedly to get her son back. Upon realizing that her baby has been taken, she is about to call the police when the men confess that they took him. Even though the claim that they stole the baby to find a good home for the child seems absurd, the woman ends up joining Sang-hyun and Dong-soo. The three go on a mission to find new parents for the baby, unaware that they are being watched by two police detectives: Su-jin (Doona BAE) and Lee (LEE Joo Young). The detectives follow the group, hoping to catch them in the act to finally end an investigation that has been going on for months. Brought together by chance through a baby, the five individuals embark on an unusual and unexpected journey.
