In a post-war and ecologically devastated Korea, mutated outcasts called Omegas are captured and exploited as cheap labor. Mia, an Omega in hiding, works in a dark, eerie fishing store that preys on people’s nostalgia for the sea and fishing. When Sujin, a newly recruited government worker, takes notice of Mia’s suspicious behavior, she delves deeper into this underground world, beginning to question her once unshakable faith in the state’s ideology.
