"Lee Tang" (Choi Woo-sik) is an ordinary college student who has been out of the army for more than 100 days. Like everyone else, it wasn't easy for him to find a job, so he worked part-time at a convenience store with an evasive attitude while preparing for a working holiday visa to Canada.

An accidental homicide happened on an ordinary day. Because it was too sudden, Li Tang stabilized his frightened heart and walked home. Just like stealing or cheating when he was a student went undetected, he hopes to fool around this time as well.
However, the next day, as usual, he encounters a gangster detective "Toy" (played by Son Seok-gu) who was waiting for Lee Tang, who came out to play a big hit at a convenience store. Fortunately, they didn't come to arrest Yi Tang, and since there was no CCTV in the alley where the murder took place, they wanted to refer to Yi Tang's statement.
The next day, he met the criminal police officer of the serious crime team "Zhang Nankan" (played by Sun Xijiu). Fortunately, he didn't come to arrest Li Tang, but because there was no monitoring in the alley where the murder occurred, he wanted to refer to Li Tang's statement.
Nervous by the detective's appearance in front of him, Li Tang states that there was nothing unusual about him. Later, the case ends with Kim Myung-hoon and his companions, who visited a convenience store together, fighting each other and committing both murders. Although he escaped murder unharmed, Yi Tang is traumatized by the fact that he murdered someone.
Seeing the criminal police appear in front of him, Li Tang was very nervous and told him that there was no special sign last night. In the end, this case ended with Kim Myung-hoon and his companions beating each other and killing each other. Although he was safely escaped from the identity of a murderer, Li Tang suffered from mental trauma from killing others.
Soon, however, he sees the news that the man he killed, Kim Myung-hoon, was actually a vicious serial killer who lived under false identities. And Li Tang had a completely different life after the accidental murder that day.
But soon after, he learns that Kim Myung-hoon, whom he killed by mistake, is actually a vicious serial murderer who lives a life of concealment. And since the accidental murder that day, his life has been completely different.

Nobin, who considers Yi Tang a hero, suggests that they work together, and the two begin working together to take down the demonic criminals.
Li Tang realized that he would not be caught no matter how he killed someone, so he continued to kill people after that. In addition, there is also a genius hacker "Lu Bin" who understands Li Tang's special ability. He sees Li Tang as a hero and proposes to work together, so the two begin to execute demonic criminals together.
However, the detective chasing the murder, Toy, was a man who won the game with his excellent intuition and tenacity.
However, the detective who investigated the murder, Zhang Nankan, is a figure known for his excellent intuition and perseverance.
If he only looks at the facts, he can't catch Yi Tang, but for some reason, his feelings turn to Yi Tang, and he continues to investigate with suspicion of this. And to make matters worse, Song Chun (played by Lee Hee-joon), a serial killer and former detective who has killed 50 people in the past 10 years, is involved, and both Lee Tang and Toys face a crisis.....
If it is true that Li Tang cannot be arrested according to the evidence, he always has doubts about Li Tang, so he continues to investigate.
