With a complex heritage as the offspring of a Korean father and a Filipino mother, Marco has tirelessly sought his estranged father's whereabouts. His sole motivation is to secure funds for his mother's crucial surgery, yet his relentless pursuit has yielded no results. Following a harrowing encounter with a gang that ultimately lands him in the hospital, a lawyer suddenly emerges, claiming to represent his long-lost father. Seizing the opportunity, they hastily embark on a journey to South Korea that very night. However, during the flight, Marco finds himself in an unsettling encounter with a mysterious individual who possesses an uncanny knowledge beyond what initially meets the eye. Upon Marco's arrival in South Korea, he is immediately ambushed by an unnamed assassin known only as ‟Nobleman‟, the very same individual he had an unsettling encounter with on the plane.

Alongside the Nobleman, Marco finds himself a target of Han Yi Sa, a wealthy heir with intentions of claiming his father's vast fortune, and Yoon Ju, a mysterious woman with whom Marco unexpectedly reunites in South Korea. Caught in a whirlwind of unpredictability and madness, Marco becomes entangled in a web of uncertainty. Amidst this chaotic scenario, he is compelled to confront a shocking truth that will shatter everything. (Source: Wikipedia)
