Synopsis / Story Description
5 Billion Won. That's all it takes to turn a miracle into a nightmare.
Han Tae-kyung is a struggling theater actor drowning in loan shark debt. Baek Su-jin is a cynical runaway heiress hiding from her suffocating chaebol family. They have absolutely nothing in common-until they literally collide in a rainy Seoul alleyway and discover a crying, abandoned seven-year-old boy hiding in a prop box.
The boy is Song Min-jae, the kidnapped son of Jeju Island's most ruthless casino tycoon. The reward for his safe return? A life-changing 5 billion won.
Tempted by the fortune, the bickering duo teams up and embarks on a chaotic journey to the billionaire's remote, cliffside estate: Villa 36. But when they arrive in the dead of night, they don't find a grateful mother waiting with a check. Instead, they find the tycoon murdered in her own living room.
Panicked and terrified, they flee the scene, accidentally leaving a trail of evidence behind. Now, Tae-kyung and Su-jin are the prime suspects in the country's highest-profile murder case.
Hunted by the brilliant and icy Chief Inspector Kang Jae-wook, the duo must navigate a mansion full of greedy relatives, shady grifters, and a terrifying hitman to find the real killer. Locked in adjacent jail cells and fighting for their lives, Tae-kyung and Su-jin will have to do the one thing they swore they'd never do: trust each other.
In a house where everyone has a motive and everyone is lying, can two accidental heroes catch a killer, protect a child, and survive long enough to fall in love?
