Synopsis

Kang Woo-hyun (Lee Seo-jin) is a highly successful news anchor for a broadcasting station. He is beloved by all of South Korea and is rumored to be making a run in politics. Outside of his job, he seems to have the perfect life, alongside his wife, fellow anchor Shin Yeon-soo (Seo Young-hee). One day, Woo-hyun, Yeon-soo, and their children decide to take a trip for their wedding anniversary. What started as a peaceful and celebratory few days of fun turns into tragedy as Woo-hyun's wife and son mysteriously vanish. His apparent case is taken up by grizzled veteran detective Go Dong-kook (Sung Dong-il) and highly respected criminal profiler Yoon Seo-young (Lim Hwa-young), and together, the three unlikely allies slowly piece together the truth about what really happened on that fateful trip.[4]
