Every night, Lee Sangwon's phone rings at the same hour. On the other end is a stranger with a calm, magnetic voice who calls himself Leo. At first, Sangwon is horrified as Leo recounts graphic details of murders he's committed-cold, meticulous crimes whispered like confessions meant only for him. Terrified, Sangwon thinks of reporting the caller, but something stops him. The longer he listens, the more he feels singled out, chosen, tethered to a darkness no one else can touch.
For Leo, Sangwon is no random number. He is the one person who never hangs up, the silent witness to his sins, and soon-the only voice Leo craves. As nights stretch into weeks, the calls twist into something intimate: Sangwon is no longer just an unwilling listener, but a confidant, a secret keeper who begins to need the calls as much as Leo does. Fear blurs into fascination, fascination into obsession.
When Leo decides to step out of anonymity and meet Sangwon face to face, their fragile boundary shatters. Sangwon is thrust into a reality where the man on the line is flesh and blood, charming and terrifying, dangerous and yet unbearably alluring. Drawn into Leo's orbit, Sangwon teeters between dread and desire, morality and surrender, questioning if what binds them is coercion, fate, or a love too corrupted to survive.
