The drama tells the story of Lee Tang, a submissive man who doesn’t normally fight back, who accidentally kills a person. Haunted by fear and guilt, he is constantly on edge, and the detective, Jang Nan-gam, is suddenly on his tail. The psychological warfare is carried out between the two with Jang keeping a close eye on changes in Lee’s demeanor.
