Synopsis

Baek Ho-bin, an undocumented immigrant in the U.S., marries a Korean woman named Jane to obtain a green card. Ho-bin and Jane begin living together, and Jane—who has lived an isolated life—starts to fall in love with him. After successfully passing the INS home interview, Ho-bin demands a divorce, but Jane refuses. In response, Ho-bin lies, telling Jane that his pregnant wife back in Korea has died, and lures Jane out with the intent to kill her. When the two arrive in Death Valley, Jane confesses that his wife, tired of waiting, actually had an abortion and married another man. Ho-bin then proposes that they take a “divorce trip” to Las Vegas.
