The Kim family has reached the bottom: Father, mother, son and daughter live in a greenish-dim basement and are not too good for any temporary job. It is only when the youngest takes up a job as a tutor in the Park family's swanky villa that the Kims enter the carousel of class struggles. With resourceful trickery, remarkable talent and great team spirit, they succeed in gradually getting rid of the previous servants of the Park family. Soon the Kims are indispensable for their new masters. But then an unexpected incident triggers a chain of events that are as unpredictable as they are inconceivable.
