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. However, Ho-jun runs late and 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.
