Every summer, she is haunted by nightmares of snakes crawling into her house.
Like a dream that follows no matter how far she runs, a past she believed she had forgotten comes knocking once again.

Living in Seoul as a cold, rational lawyer, she returns to her hometown—Geumnak-ri—for the first time in 11 years under the pretense of advising on a redevelopment association dispute.

It is a place where the empty remnants of a past she erased from memory still linger, ever since her father’s death.

There, she encounters a man who holds her entire past in his grasp.
Kim Se-won, CEO of Geumseong D&C—
a man standing on the opposite side of her client,
and the very person who left her with wounds she can never erase.

Each time she faces him, she is overwhelmed by scenes she cannot tell are dreams or memories:
red roses, an old side gate, school uniforms, and a low voice calling her name.

“No matter how many times I look, you’re still beautiful, Hee-jae.”
“If I kill your father for you… what will you give me in return?”

What exactly happened in Geumnak-ri eleven years ago?
Why does he remember everything—
while she alone has lost it all?
