A widow resides with her mentally challenged son in a small South Korean town, where she scrapes out a living selling medicinal herbs. Mother and son are plunged into a nightmare when the body of a murdered young girl is discovered. Circumstantial evidence indicates the son's involvement, and he becomes the prime suspect during the sloppy police investigation. Betrayed by the legal system, the mother takes the law into her own hands to clear her son's name.

Part of Bong Hits, a 5-film celebration of the work of contemporary Korean master Bong Joon Ho. Other titles in the series include Memories of Murder (May 4), The Host (May 11), Okja (May 18), and the Academy Award-winning Parasite (May 25).
