For four months, the city has been haunted by what they call a 'ghost.'
They call him 'phantom' - the thief who slips through locked doors and sealed vaults without leaving a single trace. No fingerprints. No faces. No mistakes. He steals from the powerful, vanishes before dawn, and leaves the police chasing shadows.
Trainee Officer Choi Yeonjun was never meant to lead the hunt. Fresh out of the academy and desperate to prove himself, he's assigned to the most impossible case in the precinct. Catch the phantom. End the streak. Restore order.
But when Yeonjun finally comes face to face with the boy behind the myth, nothing is as simple as it should be.
Because the phantom isn't ruthless, he isn't careless, and he isn't the villain Yeonjun expected.
As the line between justice and mercy begins to blur, Yeonjun finds himself caught between his oath and his heart. Every secret meeting pulls them closer. Every narrow escape tightens the noose. And with the city demanding and desperate for arrest, there's only one truth neither of them can outrun:
Some love stories aren't meant to be, or meant to survive.
And when the ghost is finally caught... someone will have to pay the price.
