Summary
Gijeong Go, an elementary school teacher, has endured a life of sacrifice and suppression. Orphaned young and burdened with caring for her reclusive younger brother, she now faces further torment—from her students, their parents, and personal sacrifices that have robbed her of her dignity and sense of self. Feeling trapped, she courageously seeks legal help to reclaim her life.
Enter Oh Inseop, a calm and enigmatic lawyer who seems to offer hope. But behind his composed exterior lies something far darker—wherever he goes, death follows. Gijeong soon discovers that she may have unknowingly placed her trust in a serial killer.
The narrative builds through a tense psychological cat-and-mouse dance, exploring themes of trust, survival, and the contradictions between one’s façade and true nature.
