Anna Cho, a Korean-American and the daughter of big-time real estate mogul Richard Cho, boards a plane for Korea after becoming annoyed by the weather in New York. Her husband Billy Park, who always longs to escape Anna’s tyrannical and high-handed ways, has been sojourning in Korea’s Namhae for the third straight month under the pretext of overseeing the handover of a resort. While driving along a deserted road, Anna gets lost and runs her car into a ditch.
Eugene Jang who lives with his three nephews and runs a small-time construction business whose sign displays the motley title of “General Construction, Architecture, Interior Design, and Engineering,” comes across the stranded Anna on his way home. Eugene, who is seriously thick-skinned and obsessed about money, gets out of his car and offers Anna help at the price of 30 dollars.
While Eugene is working, Anna sits waiting in his car. She takes Eugene's jacket, which he has taken off, and wipes the dirt from her shoes. She suddenly notices some red blotches on the jacket and mistakes them for bloodstains. She looks at the backseat and also mistakes a half-covered mannequin for a human body. Stricken with terror, she turns her eyes to Eugene's face, which, in a sudden flash of lightning, appears deadly and sinister.
Meanwhile, as he is working, Eugene keeps looking suspiciously back at Anna as she rustles around in his car, concerned about the envelope of money he left in his jacket pocket. Feeling alarmed,Eugene approaches the car with his shovel in hand; casting about for a weapon, Anna wraps Eugene's jacket around a toilet plunger and assumes a defensive stance. The moment Eugene reaches to open the door, she kicks it open and Eugene falls to the ground...
