A disquieting mother-son story starring veteran actress Kim Hye-ja as a small-town apothecary, black-market acupuncturist and single mother to son, Do-joon. Though Do-joon seems too hapless to be dangerous, the local police pin a teenage schoolgirl's murder on him. Against huge odds, his mother goes after the real killer. (Madman Entertainment)
