Former elite soldier Jihun infiltrates prison as a guard to uncover the truth behind his sister's death and his friend's suspicious prison murder.
Jihun, once part of an elite secret special forces unit, returns from overseas duty to the devastating news of his sister Jiyun's death.

When Minjun is found dead inside the prison, Jihun refuses to accept the official story. Taking on the role of a correctional officer, he infiltrates the prison to expose the truth behind both murders—and the hidden forces controlling the facility. (Source: Webtoon Entertainment)
