Synopsis
[Synopsis] A family that designed 'death' to survive—the brutal and ridiculous charade begins. A family crushed by a mountain of debt, having lost even the slightest chance to retreat. Their final handshake is the 'complete annihilation of the patriarch, Choi Mal-bok.' The family meticulously plans Mal-bok's death and executes a car explosion accident resembling an elaborate play. If they could just get their hands on the massive insurance money, this hellish poverty would finally end in a sweet comedy. However, their charade, which was expected to conclude with a tragic accident, begins to falter in an unexpected place. Strange traces left at the scene, timing that went awry in a split second, and human flaws that burst forth uncontrollably. The plan, which aimed for perfection, triggers an uncontrollable vortex of chaos starting with a tiny crack. The more lies try to cover up the truth, the more the situation spirals into a ridiculous and desperate direction. As a family fights for survival on the brink of a precipice, their oldest and sorrowful truth—which even a massive insurance payout could not conceal—surfaces…
