Synopsis
The 19-year-old protagtonist Yoon-young, who dreams of becoming a civil servant, lives with her single deaf mother and works part-time in a café. She gets assaulted and raped by her mother's co-worker one fateful night, who she kills immediately after the incident when he threatens to take advantage of her mom too. She is imprisoned after that and is only referred to as prisoner number 2037 instead of her own name. In this desperate situation, she learns she is pregnant. Depressed by the news, she stops meeting her mother and bonds with her fellow prison mates in cell room 12, each with their own story, who support and protect Yoon-young.
