Synopsis

A 19-year-old girl, Yoon Young, dreams of becoming a civil servant, lives with her single deaf mother, and works part-time in a café. She gets into an accident one day and is raped by her mother's co-worker, who she kills immediately after the incident when he threatens to take advantage of her mom too. Yoon Young is imprisoned after and is called prisoner number 2037 instead of her own name. In this desperate situation, she learns she is pregnant.
