Two women became widows on the same day, same hour. Ha Yoon-jung becomes the matriarch of her husband's family, supporting them because she feels guilty about her husband's disappearance. Oh Dong-ja, Yoon-jung's sister-in-law, has been living with Yoon-jung's help as well. After the terrifying day when they lost their husbands, the two women have been living as each other's friend and companion.

And then Yoon-jung's husband, whom everyone assumed was dead, suddenly appears before them as the future father-in-law of Dong-ja's son.
