Synopsis
Debt collector turned deliveryman seeks revenge in cutthroat entertainment world with mysterious benefactor's help.
Lee Yoohan once walked away from everything familiar, leaving behind his family and education to forge his own path in the harsh world of debt collection. Years of hardship have left him with nothing but scars and a part-time delivery job, struggling to survive day by day. When a chance encounter brings him face-to-face with ghosts from his past, Yoohan finds himself drawn into the glittering, cutthroat world of celebrity and entertainment. Determined to reclaim what was taken from him and confront those who wronged him, he sets his sights on an industry that seems impossible to break into. Enter Yoon Jay, a mysterious figure with the connections and influence to change Yoohan's fate overnight. But in a world where power comes at a price, Yoohan must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice to climb the ranks of fame and fortune—and whether the cost of revenge is worth everything he has left to give.
