Plot
Police officer Soo-young, who was waiting to move into her dream new apartment, gets involved in an unexpected corruption scandal and accepts a substantial reward to take the fall for the crimes. Two years later, on the day of her release, Soo-young is greeted by a stranger named Yoon-sun, someone she has never met before. Sensing something is amiss, Soo-young sets out to find Andy, the man who promised her compensation. As she delves deeper, she uncovers a far more dangerous and powerful force behind the scheme.
