Synopsis

Kim Seon-ae works at an AIDS Research Laboratory, Jang Mi-joo at a sex establishment, and Han Seong-ae is a psychiatrist. Seong-ae counsels single men on sex and manages hypnotic treatment for Seon-ae, her friend. During therapy, Seong-ae overhears something shocking about AIDS. Seon-ae is deeply disturbed by any mention of men and avoids them. Seong-ae attempts to help her by arranging a meeting with Jae-san at a club. Mi-joo is pressured into performing oral sex to marry the financially better Jae-seon, concealing her impoverished circumstances. When Jae-san requests a visit to her home, she's taken aback and calls Seon-ae for help. At the club, Seon-ae meets a man for the first time. Mi-joo and Jae-san both expect to get whatever they want. The three women find themselves involved in a series of risky situations.
