Plot Synopsis
The protagonist, Lee Tang, is just an average college student. One night while working part-time at a convenience store, he gets into a conflict with a client. Without realising it, he swings a hammer, killing the man. Eventually, after some time of haunting feelings of remorse and dread about his murder, Lee Tang finds out that the man he murdered was a serial killer and begins to understand that he has a supernatural talent for spotting evil. In no time at all, he transforms into a dark hero who exacts vengeance on those who have done wrongdoing.
The relentless investigator Jang Nan Gam is following closely behind, searching for any hints of his whereabouts. Lee Tang, who is rushing to seem like an innocent college student while secretly acting as a vigilante, draws him closer to his instincts and experiences.
