Lee Min-suk (Seo In-guk) is a high school student and varsity ice hockey player. He and his older brother Hyung-suk look very much alike, despite their nine-year age gap. When he gets a mysterious phone call from Hyung-suk telling him to impersonate his brother at the latter's new job, Min-suk is forced to pretend to be a high-ranking executive at an IT conglomerate.
