As a child, Shin Woo-jin was kidnapped and locked away in a warehouse, forced to live as a slave. But against all odds, he was rescued and finally stepped into the outside world. Though free, Woo-jin wasn't like other children. He had an extraordinary gift: the ability to read people. By observing the smallest facial expressions and unconscious gestures, he could see through their thoughts, emotions, and intentions with near-perfect accuracy. Like a profiler, like a modern-day Sherlock, Woo-jin learned to navigate the world, one observation at a time. But for someone who sees too much, living an ordinary life is the hardest thing of all. All he ever wanted was a peaceful, simple life. But the world had other plans. "As I thought... living a normal life is far too difficult."

He had sex with his own daughter—though, of course, only in a dream. Goto, a university lecturer, had seemingly built a happy family: a beautiful wife who is a painter and lovely, talented children... But that happiness was merely a facade. During the day, he suspected his wife of infidelity, and at night, he was tormented by nightmares, gradually wearing down his mental stability. One day, Goto returned home to find his room in chaos and his daughter in tears. Convinced that his wife was to blame, Goto vows to protect his beloved family...!? A family suspense of immorality!

As a meek high school student, Heo Jeong-woo is used to incessant bullying. No different from his middle school, all sorts of violent people and dangerous cliques prey on the weak. However, a sudden shift in power comes with a new transfer student, Han Bora.

Jeong-woo attended the same middle school as Sena, so he remembers her story—she was nearly killed by bullies and has disappeared since. Desperate to escape his daily hell, Jeong-woo gives up the names of the four students who terrorized Sena. But he must be careful not to stand in Bora's way, as she is unpredictable and incredibly brutal, and all she wants is bloody revenge.
