The story centers around Hye-Ree who has been kidnapped and forced into prostitution during World War II. In the prison camp, she meets two lieutenants, one who has a very angel like respect for women (Saito) and one who has more of a devilish streak (Ito). Saito has secretly befriended Hye-Ree because he has been brought up to respect women, while Ito has the complete opposite upbringing.

Seeking the following characters: (ALL NON-UNION)

Lt. Saito (20's-mid 30's) Lieutenant under Lt. Ito, who is part of the comfort woman tragedy during WWII. He is a respectful gentleman who pretends to engage in obscene behaviors with the comfort women, but has been brought up to respect them.

Lt. Ito (20's-mid 30's) Basically the Nazi gestapo character of the show, who is both physically abusive and sexually abusive towards Hye-Ree. He is the complete opposite of Lt. Saito, and they butt heads.
