One fateful day, Jeong-tae, while rummaging through So-ra's apartment, finds her dead on her couch. A murder investigator, Oh Young-joo, puts together a case based on all the evidence against Jeong-tae as a criminal, but not long after that, a blackmailer begins pressuring him, exposing his secret habit. The social media of So-ra becomes a vehicle for Jeong-tae to root out the people around him that could be the potential criminals, thus absolving him from guilt.
