Set in 1930s Korea during the Japanese occupation, the film follows a young Korean pickpocket named Sook-hee (Kim Tae-ri). She is hired by a con man (Ha Jung-woo) to serve as a handmaiden to a wealthy Japanese heiress, Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee). The plan is simple: Sook-hee must convince the heiress to marry the con man so they can steal her inheritance and have her committed to an asylum. However, things go awry when Sook-hee and Lady Hideko develop intense feelings for one another.
