Two brothers have different interests; Dae-jun (Lee Byung-hun) loves car racing while Ho-jun (Lee Eol) loves carpentry, art and gardening.
Despite their differences the two brothers are very close. Ho-jun marries his girlfriend Eun-soo (Lee Mi-yeon). Dae-jun decides to take part in a car race even though his brother, who is concerned for his safety, asks him not to do that particular race.
With a heavy heart Ho-jun plans on attending the car race to support Dae-jun. Running late, he has to hail a taxi.
The speeding taxi crashes into a lorry, and Ho-jun is seriously injured. At the same time as the taxi crashes, Dae-jun's car overturns in the middle of the race and he is also badly injured.
