Lee Si-seup's father was hit by a truck outside a pizza place while crossing against the lights. Since then Si-seup has leaned on drink and cared only for Lee Si-bong, the bichon frisé puppy that may have been the reason for the accident and has become a star of social media reels. When staff from a breeding company suddenly turn up, saying the dog carries the blood of the king of bichons and offering to take him away, Si-seup's life opens out into his father's past struggles and into the family tree of the bichon, once a treasure of the Spanish royal house.
