Joshua Hong leaves behind everything he's built-his career, his home, the security he once clung to-in pursuit of the past he can't seem to forget.
Seeking closure from a childhood shrouded in unanswered questions, he embarks on a journey that promises more than just forgotten memories.
Unbeknownst to Joshua, the past he's chasing has become intertwined with a darker, predatory world-
one where secrets thrive in the shadows, and he might find himself more prey than seeker.
Each step draws him deeper, closer to a truth that could unravel him, and a dangerous connection waiting to claim him.

The underworld thrives on blood, power, and betrayal-Choi Seungcheol and Yoon Jeonghan know that better than anyone. Once lovers, now sworn enemies, they lead rival organizations locked in a deadly game of control. Every move is calculated. Every betrayal expected. But something is wrong.

And at the center of it all, Seungcheol begins to realize-this isn't just about revenge anymore. Something is watching. Something is waiting. And it won't stop until it gets what it wants.
