Synopsis

Ever since witnessing a chicken being slaughtered in the countryside as a child, Cheolmin has suffered from a severe fear of birds. Lately, he can't shake the feeling that his department head at work looks less like a man and more like a bird — but he tells himself it's just his anxiety acting up. His coworker Gwangbin, an avid occult enthusiast, notices something is off and theorizes that the boss might actually be a harpy — a legendary monster that wears human skin and devours people. Cheolmin doesn't buy it, until a colleague suddenly vanishes without a trace. Together, the two begin digging into the boss's true identity. When they get too close to the truth, the boss reveals himself and tries to make them his next meal. They barely escape — only to discover that harpies are lurking everywhere around them. Cheolmin has been running ever since, but when his own family becomes a target, he resolves to face his deepest fear head-on in order to protect the people he loves.
