The girl, Joy, was deceived by her neighbors and imprisoned in a small room for seven years. During this time she was raped and gave birth to her son Jack. Like all mothers, Joey also does his best to create a safe and happy atmosphere for his children to grow up. Although they are trapped in a room of less than 10 square meters, through fantasy Joey has created a magical world for his son. But as he grew up, Jack's curiosity made him no longer satisfied with this world, so Joey carefully planned and took Jack out of the room where they were imprisoned. However, after escaping, the mother and son, who had been out of society for too long, discovered that the real world was what frightened them the most.
