When 22-year-old university student Sim Jake vanishes one rainy evening after class, it sets off a quiet panic among his friends. But Jake doesn't wake up in a ditch or a basement. He wakes in a mansion -remote, eerily quiet, and kept in perfect order by a man who says almost nothing at first.

Lee Heeseung is beautiful, brilliant, and completely unhinged. Once a trauma surgeon with a buried past, he now lives in isolation, collecting lost things-Jake included. But unlike his previous "guests," Heeseung doesn't want Jake to die. He wants him to stay.

As days pass, fear twists into fascination. Heeseung feeds Jake, speaks to him gently, and asks him to pose for portraits. He tells Jake he's special. Different. Pure. But his affection is conditional. His rules are rigid. His darkness, inescapable.

And yet Jake finds himself wanting to understand him. Wanting to stay.

Is it survival? Compassion? Or something much more dangerous?
