One Christmas evening, thirty-year-old housewife Mi-heun has her world shattered by the discovery that her quiet country doctor husband is a womanizer fixated on having sex with women the way he goes fishing in the nearby lake. Swept away by the peaceful town of Butterfly Ville, Mi-Heun and her family go on as if nothing had happened, but the aftermath of that night still haunts Mi-Heun with headaches as she vexatiously tries to vent out her heartache alone. Then one day she meets In-kyu and is propositioned with a dangerous game of sex that would never allow for love. At first, she refuses with all her might, but soon she falls into it body and soul, increasingly enjoying the game. In the meantime, Mi-heun's husband Hyo-kyung has been wanting to make a pond outside their house for a while, in the hopes that cultivating a backyard pond with fish might help them forget about everything and be happy again. However, the pond remains by itself as the one person who should be sharing it with him is walking through the woods that are found outside the only motel in town. What will become of Hyo-kyung, who does not want to accept the rumors of Mi-heun and In-kyu spreading throughout the small town? What awaits the two lovers who know no end to their dangerous game?
