Plot
Ten-year-old Ji-so lives in a car with her mother Jeong-hyeon and younger brother Ji-seok. Her father disappeared after their pizza business went bankrupt. When she sees a missing dog poster with a five-hundred-dollar reward, Ji-so naively believes that that amount of money would be enough to buy her family a house. So she hatches a plan with her brother to find a dog with a rich owner, steal it, and then return the dog by pretending to have found it and get the reward. Their target is Wolly, the dog of an old rich lady who owns the street where their car was parked. While undertaking their "perfect" plan, they befriend Dae-po, a homeless man who ends up living in the abandoned building where they've stashed the dog. But someone else is after Wolly: Soo-young, the old lady's nephew, who'll stop at nothing to gain his aunt's inheritance. In the end, Ji-so and her family do not appear Ji-so and her family finally live in a house but it is for a woman who lives alone, so she invited them to live with her and her baby.
