    • 13-year-old Su-rin (SHIN Eun-su) and her only friend Sung-min (GANG Dong-won), venture into a cave with a group of kids and discover a magical egg; which could be holding a time-eating monster that can turn a child into an adult according to their local folktale. The boys take the egg outside and when Su-rin follows them out of the cave a minute later, she finds that her friends have disappeared. While the police assume that this is an abduction case and start an investigation to find the missing boys, a mysterious grown-up man shows up and tells Su-rin that he is Sung-min.
