As the heir to a massive business empire, he lives a life of calculated perfection, until a single night of betrayal by his own colleagues turns his world to ash. Framed, disgraced, and stripped of his badge after a public scandal, Sky is sent into forced exile by his powerful father, ordered to disappear into a remote village to serve a period of penance. ​Hollowed out by the loss of his career and harboring a deep-seated resentment toward the vulnerability of children-a shadow cast by his own traumatic past-Sky arrives in the village like a storm cloud.

It is only when the silence between them grows louder than words that Sky realizes the void left by Nani's absence. ​The turning point comes when the laughter in the village is replaced by the sound of a sobbing child. Seeing the man he once feared-turned-comforting-protector, Nani realizes that beneath the officer's hard exterior lies a heart that just needed a reason to beat again.
