Tae-suk (Jae Hee) drifts around on his motorcycle looking for empty houses to stay in. He goes from door to door and puts up flyers in the keyholes of each house. He later breaks into the house where the flyer has not been removed, assuming that the owner is away.

Tae-suk lives in the empty house until the owners return, but never steals or ruins anything. He spends a night or a day squatting in, repaying their unwitting hospitality by doing laundry or small repairs. Before leaving, he puts everything back as it used be.

One day, sneaking into a wealthy home, Tae-suk meets his destiny - a beautiful, lonely wife named Sun-hwa, trapped in a loveless marriage. Without saying a word, the pair begin an erotic game of cat-and-mouse, until her abusive husband returns home, unleashing a shocking burst of violence. Tae-suk defends Sun-hwa with the aid of her husband's golf club. The lovers run away together finding domestic bliss inhabiting strangers' homes. Later, when Tae-suk is framed for a murder, even prison walls can't keep them apart for good.
