The noir/crime drama revolves around the love and struggles of undercover agents and members of an infamous drug ring.
When her older sister Lee Kyung-mi is murdered while undercover in the criminal underworld, Yoon Soo-min is driven to pick up where Kyung-mi left off. But in the shadows, there are no rules and no reason; Soo-min falls for the organization's drug kingpin, "The Doctor's Son," who also happens to be the prime suspect in her sister's murder.
