Park Christopher is a young teenage American boy who has been missing in Rio de Janeiro for over a week. Police investigations are ongoing, yet there are no concrete leads.
Missing.
No Clues.
Heavy heartbreaking words to associate with someone you love, don't you think? Yet, they take up more and more space in your mind, suffocating you in the worst way possible.
Upon learning of his younger brother's disappearance, Park Jimin decided to cross the continent to find him. What was meant to be a desperate search for answers soon evolves into something far greater as he realizes this case is anything but a simple missing-person incident.
Rio de Janeiro is not merely a city of breathtaking landscapes and welcoming warmth. There is another side to it, a silent, cruel one where asking too many questions causes trouble, authorities turn a blind eye, and certain information is never meant to be shared. Bit by bit, Jimin finds himself immersed in a world ruled by factions, defined by incomplete police reports and names spoken only in whispers.
Alone in a place full of violence and seduction in equal measure, every step Jimin takes brings him closer to Christopher, yet further from the comfortable reality he once knew.
That is how Jungkook enters the picture. A reckless, annoying, and relentlessly persistent man, he is neck-deep in the very things the blond man wishes to avoid. He is someone who seems to belong to that chaos almost naturally, as if he were a part of it.
Amidst the investigation, feelings emerge, ones that promise neither safety nor redemption, only intensity. It is a bond that grows in the face of danger, where every choice carries consequences.
Yet, in the end, it is impossible to say which is riskier: surrendering to someone under these circumstances or continuing the search for a person the city insists on keeping hidden.
