Plot
Hee-jin works in a fishing spot isolated from the world, taking care of small fishing huts that seem to float like islands on a reservoir. Occasionally, she also prostitutes herself to the fishermen. One day, a man comes. He is full of a sense of despair and estrangement. Hee-jin has her own streak of rustic madness. The place becomes the site of serial murders. The reservoir appears to turn into an overflowing swamp of blood.
