Synopsis :

In a small town by the sea that barely has anything, an idle boy encounters a heartbroken girl. The boy learns the girl’s secret relationship with the football coach. Dying to leave the town behind, he proposes a plan to the girl to extort money from the coach to pay for their escape.


This naive plan fails to extort any money from the grownup. And once the thought of leaving begins to stick, it is hard to call it off. The heartbroken girl proposes to the boy that she will make money with her born talent, and the boy can manage other things.


There is never a shortage of lonely and idle men around the town. This “business” quickly becomes popular. As time goes by, having a considerable income somehow weakens their purpose to leave. Meanwhile, their business has drawn the attention of the local police, leading to them being subdued and extorted. All of a sudden, “leaving” becomes the priority again. The desperate boy decides to risk it and starts dealing drugs. Unbeknownst to him, all of this would end with a betrayal.
