Goo Myung-hui, a provincial council member renowned for his integrity and strong moral principles, is receiving overwhelming public support and is considered a frontrunner for the next governor. One day, he learns that his son was involved in a car accident and attempted to cover it up. Determined to protect his political career above all else, he makes the difficult decision to turn his son in.

Meanwhile, Yoo Joong-sik, whose entire world revolves around his son, Boo-nam, would do anything for him. When his son, who has a physical disability, suddenly dies in a car accident and returns as a cold corpse, Joong-sik falls into despair. Unable to understand his son's actions on the day of the accident and desperate to find his missing daughter-in-law, Choi Ryeon-hwa, who vanished without a trace that night, he seeks help from the police.
