Rachael Patton-Langdale is murdered on an ocean liner. Her niece Ophelia "Phil" Patton was heard shouting "I wish you were dead!" earlier. Detective Seo Yo-han has only two days to solve the case before the ship reaches its destination and Phil - innocent or guilty - is taken to prison. Adding to the confusion, Phil lied about her alibi. And a letter is found in Rachael's room signed by Heather Glenn, who isn't on the ship and who no one has heard of.

Alex is an ordinary, highly-introverted office worker. He clocks in and out and goes home to the little apartment he shares with his younger sister. He hasn't dated in years--until his co-workers set him up on a blind date. The only issue is he and his date are not on the same page. At all. While Alex thinks it's a normal date, Damián is under the impression Alex is a client who paid to be there. No-so-quickly, they realize something is up. It's all a prank. Damián is a sex worker who Alex's co-workers hired as a sick joke. After reassuring that they're both okay, Alex decides he wants revenge for both him and Damián. The plan is to use the stigma of sex work in their favor and start a 6-week, scandalous fake dating scheme with a big finale at the office Halloween party. Alex's co-workers will be too horrified to try to prank him again. At least, that's the plan.

Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be... So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown. Waters disturbed, the two upend one another's lives with misunderstanding hands and misguided compassion. The balances of fate tip dangerously and they quickly find themselves pitted against the same foe: time. The world's watchful eyes fall upon them as night coats the skies and something unexpectedly new begins to emerge. Hope. Little do they know just how dangerous something like that can be. *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, suggestive scenes, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*
