On a knife-cold winter day in East City, factory man Rock is replaced by a politician's daughter?and that night his son lands in Room 302, beaten half to death. Bills spiral, hospital graft stinks, and dignity is the only currency he has left. Rock begs, borrows, and bleeds, pulling police officer Olga An into a web of petty power and quiet brutality. When mercy fails and justice stalls, how far will an ordinary father go to save his family?and what piece of his soul will the city ask in return?
