Ji-ho, a 23-year-old boy burdened by a life of constant misfortune, has known only abandonment and hardship. His mother disappeared without a trace years ago, leaving him with a father consumed by gambling and addiction. His world, already fragile, shatters when his father vanishes, and dangerous debt collectors come hunting for Ji-ho to settle the debt. With the help of his best friend Noah, they barely manage to escape, fleeing into the unknown.

As they navigate this strange world, they uncover secrets buried deep within its ancient lore, but none more shocking than the truth Ji-ho is forced to face: he is the fated mate of a powerful wolf, destined to be part of a bond that defies reason and changes everything. Caught between fear and desire, Ji-ho must embrace his new reality or risk losing everything-including his very life.
