Set in the fictional town of Pogoo, the story follows Rohan, his older brother Kyohan, and Jane, a newcomer who moves into a Texas-style hot springs run by the local hatmaker. This intriguing setup sets the stage for a compelling romantic crime narrative. The film boasts a stellar cast, including Jo Byeong Kyu, Seo In Guk, Yoo In Soo, and JINI, with each character promising to deliver an edge-of-your-seat experience.
