Est grieves the death of his partner, finding quiet in self-harm until he meets Hong-owner of an underground BDSM club who teaches him that pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin. But when Est sees something he shouldn't, he falls into the hands of William- leader of a mafia sect and a broken sadist whose cracks leave space only for him. By night, Hong rules The Citadel- an underground bdsm club. By day, he hides behind the badge of a cop, protecting the club's ties to the mafia. However, his world falls apart when Nut, a new detective investigating drug-related deaths, receives an anonymous tip with five names- one that hits too close to Hong.
