He discovers that the school's administration, including several influential faculty members, has been systematically exploiting and sexually abusing the students for years. The revelations deeply shock Kang and he decides to fight for justice and ensure the perpetrators are held accountable.

It is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged film that sheds light on a dark chapter in Korean history while also advocating for the rights and welfare of marginalized individuals.
