Ten years ago, someone murdered Yoon Yi-na’s uncle, her only family. As the only person at the crime scene, Yi-na did not remember what happened that night. Detective Kim Han-saem, who investigated the case, deemed her the prime suspect. This event forever altered the course of her life.
After a decade, Yi-na becomes a seasoned criminal profiler with the Seoul Metropolitan Police. She solves crimes with her skillful talent by using her sharp analytical skills to decipher motives from crime scenes.

As Yi-na pursues the truth, she faces not only a killer but also the shadows of her own past.
