Plot

By day, Kim Soo-hyun is a gifted veterinarian, calm and compassionate, devoted to saving the lives of stray and injured animals. Yet behind this gentle persona lies a chilling truth — he is one of the most efficient assassins in the world. Operating under a veil of secrecy, Soo-hyun has built a fearsome reputation among global criminal networks as a master of precision, elusive as a shadow and silent as death itself. His life is governed by cold logic and anonymity, until fate draws him towards an encounter that will unravel everything he thought he knew about himself.
Do Hyun-jin, a brilliant and determined detective, is known for her sharp instincts and unflinching pursuit of justice. Beneath her controlled, stoic exterior lies a deeply compassionate soul, haunted by the memory of a personal loss that still drives her. When a series of mysterious murders shakes Seoul, Hyun-jin's investigation leads her straight to Soo-hyun — a man whose calm eyes conceal a violent secret. Convinced that he is the killer, she begins a relentless pursuit, only to uncover a truth far more complex and devastating than she ever anticipated.
As Hyun-jin delves deeper, long-buried connections emerge between the two. Years ago, Soo-hyun was rescued and raised by Pavel, a European contract killer who had originally been sent to murder him on his father's orders. Stricken by guilt, Pavel spared the boy and raised him as his adopted son — training him in the art of assassination but also urging him to live freely, unbound by violence. When Pavel falls ill and embarks on one last job, his failure leads to capture and torture by a mafia syndicate. Soo-hyun's rescue mission ends in bloodshed, leaving Pavel mortally wounded and a vengeful enemy, Karimov, in his wake.
Now, with his mentor gone and his past resurfacing, Soo-hyun stands at the crossroads of fate. Bound to Hyun-jin by tragedy and truth, the two must confront secrets that tie their lives — and the lives of those they have lost — together in ways neither could have foreseen. In a world where every kill leaves a scar and every truth hides another lie, love and justice collide in a deadly game of redemption.
