Synopsis

Light was sexually assaulted by his stepfather and always lacked love in his childhood. After his mother — his only blood relative—was killed, he could no longer escape and was forced into prostitution. One day, he meets a new client who beats him up on the street. Shuo is an undercover cop trying to reach the drug cartel’s boss by working at a tailor shop. During a mission, Light catches his eye. He brings back the unconscious Light and provides him with shelter. But can Light really face his trauma and live with it? Or will he eventually go back to the streets and keep pursuing false love from clients?
