Plot Summary: Hye-ja is a single mom to 27-year-old Do-joon. Her son is her raison d’être. Though an adult in years, Do-joon is naïve and dependent on his mother, and a constant source of anxiety, often behaving in ways that are foolish or simply dangerous. Walking home alone one night down a nearly empty city street, he encounters a young girl who he follows for a while before she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning, she is found dead in an abandoned building and Do-joon is accused of her murder. Thanks to an inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force, Do-joon's case is quickly closed, but his mother refuses to let this be the end of the story. Trusting no one, Hye-ja's maternal instincts kick into overdrive, and she sets out to find the girl's killer and prove her son's innocence.

This movie was outstanding. Bin Won does a 180 from his role in The Man From Nowhere as the mentally challenged Do-joon, but the movie is really about Hye-ja Kim and the lengths she'll go to free her only child.

Like the movie poster says, her performance is riveting. The movie is suspenseful, sad and has plenty of black humor sprinkled throughout. Great film.
