In the ancient Goryeo tradition of "Goryojang", when one's parents reach the age of 70, they are carried to the mountaintop and left to die. A widow marries a poor farmer who already has ten children, making her young son Gu Ryeong number eleven in line. But her marriage brings bad luck to the village as a shaman prophesizes that Gu Ryeong will kill all of his ten stepsiblings. Overhearing that, the stepsiblings attempt to kill Gu Ryeong, but only manage to cripple his leg. Thirty years later, the stepsiblings strike again by raping Gu Ryeong's wife, but this time, Gu Ryeong and his wife kill two of his siblings. Fifteen years later, devastating drought brings despair to the village, during which Gu Ryeong is charged with his siblings' murders. The shaman orders him to be executed, but Gu Ryeong's mother begs the shaman for her grace in exchange for sacrificing her own life to Goryeojang.
