Ma Dong-chan (Ji Chang-wook ) and Go Mi-ran (Won Jin-ah ) take part in a 24-hour experiment where both are frozen. Things do not go as expected and they wake up from the frozen capsule 20 years later instead of 24 hours. Wanting to survive the side effects of their cryogenic sleep, they must follow a set of restrictions to maintain their body temperature at 31.5 °C (max. 33 °C/88-91 °F) and keep their heart rate normal. The scientist behind the experiment is the only one who knows the key to their survival, but he has lost his memory after an accident. Racing against time, the story focuses on the two dynamic individuals' attempt to resume normalcy and catch up on the lost time of their lives.
