Just like people spend money recklessly on things, using them until they're discarded--does that mean we're useless too, so we've been thrown away here? In South Korea lies a vibrant island, littered with discarded items, unwanted things, and broken goods. The people living here are also those abandoned by the city. Every morning brings the stench, dust, and swarms of flies, along with monster-like dump trucks and deafening noise--this is the daily reality for the boy known as Goldfish Eyes. Forced to follow his mother here to scrape out a living, he watches his familiar world crumble: from vibrant mountain wilderness to a shantytown without addresses or door numbers. Until the scarred youth "Scarhead" appears, leading him to the island's last pristine sanctuary.
