The story follows an ordinary sales employee whose life takes an unexpected turn after he wins a ₩1.3 billion lottery jackpot. However, the prize is not enough for him to stop working for the rest of his life. Instead of handing in his resignation, he decides to keep his job and treats the lottery money as a financial safety net.

With the pressure of earning a living reduced, his attitude towards work changes. He becomes more fearless and starts behaving differently around his bosses and colleagues, leading to changes in the workplace hierarchy and his relationships with people around him.
