According to reports, the story will revolve around Woo Shik’s character, Lee Tang. Tang, who is a student-part-timer, unconsciously ends up committing a murder after getting into an argument with a customer.

After a while, Tang discovers that the man he killed was actually a serial killer. He then discovers his skill to identify “evil people” and decides to go on a spree to punish the “bad seeds.”
