Eighteen-year-old Ha-min begins seeing a mysterious number appear before his eyes every time he eats his mother Eun-sil’s home-cooked meals. The number starts at “365” and decreases by one with each bite. When he realizes that the number reaching zero means his mother will die, Ha-min’s ordinary life is turned upside down. To protect her, he starts avoiding her home-cooked meals, making all kinds of excuses to skip eating at home. Years pass, and Ha-min continues to live carefully, always bracing for the worst. Just as he finally finds peace and builds a life with his girlfriend Ryeo Eun, an unexpected truth suddenly emerges that turns his entire world around.
