Summary
During a monsoon, a boy awakens in a secluded mountain lodge with no memory of who he is. Paralyzed from an accident, he finds himself cared for by four women he doesn’t recognize. Who is he, where is he, and what has happened? The bridge to the nearby village has been washed away by the relentless rain, leaving the boy and the four women isolated in the lodge.
In truth, this “boy” is Joseph, a wildly popular idol singer, who had gone into the forest alone and suffered a car accident. The four seemingly kind women tending to him are, in fact, obsessive fans who have kidnapped and imprisoned him. Their ages, backgrounds, and circumstances are all different—but what drove them to conspire together?
As these women create their own small paradise to indulge their desires by keeping a star within reach, a new crisis arises: the lodge owner’s grandson unexpectedly arrives for vacation, disrupting the fragile balance of their secluded world.
