The Kumiho family circus in town -- and with it, apparently, a mysterious murderer. The members of motherless family aren’t helping their case with their strange remarks about humans and their initial performances, cavalcades of dismemberment and torrents of blood which terrify the local kids. Pretty soon, a dour, downbeat cop is on the tail of the plucky, bumbling Kumihos. Or rather, tails -- “kumiho” is the word for the fox spirits of Korean mythology, and this clan from Nam Mountain near Seoul, temporarily disguised as people thanks to a magic spell, must eat human livers during a brief, once-in-a-millennium lunar eclipse to shed their foxy nature and assume permanent human form. When the sleazy reprobate on the run from mobsters stumbles into their eerie household, he soon finds himself a little too enthusiastically involved in their scheming after human flesh—and involved with the sexy elder-sister fox spirit as well!

高中时代的韩太雄（玄彬 饰）和金正奎（李善皓 饰），二人即是对手，又是知己。正奎是公认的天才少年，恃才傲物，而太雄则是无意中被挖掘的璞玉。因一次误会，使对立的二人不打不相识，成为了好朋友。在这期间，太雄和一名性格古怪的少女结识，虽只是一面之缘却给太雄留下了深刻的印象。奥林匹克数学比赛，太雄夺冠，接受不了这个事实的正奎选择祝福太雄，而自己结束掉了生命。认为是自己害了正奎的太雄一蹶不振，改名为韩得九，继承了正奎的梦想，成为了一名拳击手。而与那位少女宝拉（成宥利 饰）的再度相遇则是八年后。背负着伤疤而活，周身冷冰冰的二人如同命定的相遇，融化了对方身上的雪，温暖了冰封已久的心。冬天到了，春天还会远吗？属于二人的春天就此来到。
