Synopsis
Photographer Jo falls for ex-gangster Ian, who's torn between his violent past with TJ and a potential future with Jo.
Joseph "Jo" Landi has had a normal life, and he has recently moved in with his aunt to help out with her restaurant while focusing on his photography hobby. When he accidentally snaps a picture of Shin "Ian" Youngwoo, it leads to the two of them meeting. Jo has never had interest in men before, but Ian is strikingly handsome and has an air of mystery that Jo simply cannot get out of his head. Unbeknownst to Jo, Ian is an ex-member of an Asian gang. The only thing preventing him from fully leaving the life of violence behind is his undefined relationship with Oh "TJ" Taejoon, his longtime friend and lover. TJ and Ian share a complex past, and Ian's unresolved feelings for TJ complicate his newfound connection with Jo. As the struggle for power within the gang intensifies, Ian wonders if he truly possesses the strength to let go of his past with TJ and embrace a brighter future—possibly with Jo by his side.
