A beautiful lady indulges in the creation of puppets. She often felt that there were hands following her and spying on her in the dark. She did not resist, and she thought she could always coexist with them. Until one night, the hands put ropes on the sleeping heroine, and she became a living puppet. When she woke up, she had entered the world of the magic hand, where a stage play was being staged. In the play, a lady gradually became trapped in a single and repetitive life from freedom and happiness. Outside the stage, the heroine was trapped by countless ropes and was forced to watch this dark and hopeless play. The fire of desire to escape burned blazingly in the hearts of the two people inside and outside the theater. Taking advantage of the night again, they took all possible actions to fight for their own freedom.
