SYNOPSIS
What should I do if I quit playing baseball?
Gwang-ho, a top prospect on his high school baseball team, does not get drafted by a professional baseball team. To continue his baseball career, he has no choice but to apply to the university baseball club without his high school coach’s permission. This sudden decision strains his relationship with his team members and the coach. With no one to depend on, Gwang-ho begins selling fake gasoline with his childhood friend Min-cheol, fully knowing that this will lead him to a dead end with no future.
