Synopsis
Exiled prince Jigyo bonds with guard Dangeum amid conspiracy, mysterious pasts, and hidden truths in quiet village.
Our story begins with Jigyo, the crown prince, having recently been exiled from the palace with a guard, Dangeum, and the man who raised him, Chunggeum. The three are forced to pass their remaining days in a quiet village made up of mostly elderly residents. This leads to a listless and lonely Jigyo, who begins pressing Dangeum to relieve his traditional post as a voiceless shadow, and the two quickly grow closer. Hints of a bloody conspiracy, Dangeum's mysterious origin, and a Chunggeum who seems to know more than he's letting on—just how are these three characters connected, and what will happen to them during exile?
