Sang-hyun, the owner of a launderette in Busan, is being leaned on by local gangsters, so he resorts to selling babies. A local church has a “baby box” where new mothers can leave unwanted infants. Sang-hyun’s big-hearted right-hand man works part-time at the church, so if a baby arrives while he is on duty, he spirits it away. Things get complicated when one baby drop-off is observed by two police detectives on a stake out and more complicated still when the mother in question has a change of heart, returns to the church, and cottons on to the men’s racket.
