Paek Hobin, played by Ahn Sung-ki, is an illegal immigrant in the U.S. He is determined to do anything for money, in order to bring his pregnant wife from Korea to the U.S.
In San Diego, however, he is dating a Ms. Han, played by Choi Min-hee. Paek convinces her to move to Los Angeles with him and on the way, he deprives her of her money and runs away, leaving her behind in the desert.
Meanwhile, Jane, played by Jang Mi-hee, comes to the U.S. with her husband, a U.S. soldier stationed in Korea. She ends up divorcing him, however, as she can't stand his physical violence or the loneliness. Now, she makes a living through sham marriage contracts.
Paek decides to enter into a sham marriage with Jane. After many attempts at winning her favor and passing the strict interviews, Paek finally achieves U.S. citizenship. He is excited very much at the thought that he can now divorce Jane and bring his original wife to California. Unlike him, however, Jane seems to love Paek and doesn't want to let him go. Jane tells him that she is pregnant.
Things get more complicated when Ms. Han, who he left in the desert, finds him. Paek convinces Jane, this time, to move further north to San Francisco. He attempts to kill her near a valley in the desert. Jane tells the truth, that she is not pregnant, and Paek, relieved, suggests she file for divorce with him. Before he starts the car engine, Jane gives him a tape recorded message sent by his wife. On the tape, she says that she is now tired of him and has already gone through with an abortion.
Trembling with rage, Paek starts the car. Jane then shoots him with a gun and then shoots herself in the head, too.
