An unlikely combination of a clumsy kidnapper and a genius girl who belongs to the top 0.01 percentile.

Myeongjun decides to kidnap someone in order to make money for his daughter's surgery, but in the ensuing action causes a car accident by mistake. His car knocks down a girl named Rohee, who was in fact his target of abduction. Rohee loses her memory as a result of the car accident, and believing Myeongjun is her father, keeps him on the trot. Impatient to return Rohee to her real family, Myeongjun rings up her parents, but they don't pick up the phone. As a last resort, he goes to spy on Rohee's house, and what should he see but the dead bodies of her parents being carried out of the house before his very eyes! To make matters worse, despite her memory loss, Rohee's genius brain remains unscathed, and so she starts to suspect Myeongjun's clumsy lies.

The unlikely chemistry between the clumsy yet humane thirty-something Myeongjun and the teenage genius Rohee gives rise to many laughs. Yet at the same time, the novel never loses its identity as a thriller. When the truth is exposed in full, it becomes clear how the selfish human desire to get ahead can have terrible consequences.
