When Isabella Park, Seoul National University's most popular psychology student, is found dead in the rose garden after the annual masquerade ball, all evidence points to Lee So-young, a struggling canteen cashier who had been publicly humiliated by Isabella earlier that evening. Detective Kim Min-jun takes on what appears to be a straightforward case of revenge gone wrong, but as he digs deeper into the prestigious university's dark secrets, he uncovers a web of academic corruption, international crime, and deadly deception that spans generations. What begins as a simple murder investigation transforms into a mind-bending thriller where nothing is as it seems, identities are fluid, and even the detective himself becomes a pawn in an elaborate game of manipulation orchestrated by a mastermind who has been planning this intricate revenge for decades. Set against the backdrop of modern Seoul, this genre-blending mystery combines laugh-out-loud comedy with heart-pounding action as it explores themes of family trauma, institutional corruption, and the masks we all wear to hide our true selves.
