Min-Soo, a young doctor in present day South Korea, lives in fear of his parents discovering his homosexuality. His solution: to marry his pretty co-worker Hyo-Jin, who lives in the apartment across the hall with her lesbian lover. Both can then pretend to live together and pass themselves off as heterosexual.  All seems to go well until Min-Soo’s parents begin to get suspicious, forcing Min-Soo to realize that living only to please others often does everyone more harm than good.
