A scene-stealing actress x a poker-faced programmer
One is obedient, the other rebellious.

...In the end, the harder they try, the more danger they face.
Are they doomed to become flower fertilizer, nourishing towering trees?
No. They become a deadly poison, cutting off the roots and severing the lifeblood.

From survival to fighting back, from being toyed with by the rules to manipulating them, from actor to awakened one, from mutual disdain to entrusting each other with their lives...
