SYNOPSIS

The halls of an International High School in the outskirts of the city.

It’s winter break and the students who remained at school are busy studying and taking winter courses.

The drama class taught by DONG-WOO is doing a play called 〈RICHARD MCBEEF〉 recommended by homeroom teacher YOUNG-JOON. 

Each student deals with confusion as they struggle to find their identity. As the teacher of the drama class, Dong-woo tells the students to confide with the teachers if anything happens.  

However, YU-JIN says that all the teachers do is tell him to come back during counseling hours.

When Dong-woo gives the same advice again, Yu-jin makes a suggestion: shout out ‘Mcbeef’, the word that only they can understand, in case of any emergency.

MCBEEF, the signal that only they know. But can they catch this signal?
