An extended period of prohibition in the Joseon era proved that the restriction of alcohol was no match for human desire. Laws against imbibing, buying or making alcohol created different challenges for these inhabitants: Inspector Nam Young from The Office of the Inspector-General who left his hometown to achieve fame in Hanyang and restore his family status; Kang Ro Seo, the aristocratic but impoverished lady who makes moonshine to reduce her debt, allowing her to continue buying her mother’s medication and her brother’s books; and even Crown Prince Lee Pyo, who was prone to scaling the palace walls in search of a tipple. This trio has a fateful encounter leading to the discovery of a hidden stash of alcohol. Revealing this secret would only result in a certain death.
