Synopsis
Marco lives in the Philippines, struggling to survive while caring for his terminally ill mother. As the son of a Korean father and a Filipino mother, he has spent years searching for his estranged father—his only hope of securing money for his mother’s life-saving surgery.
After a violent confrontation with a gang lands him in the hospital, a mysterious lawyer suddenly appears, claiming to represent his long-lost father. With no other option, Marco boards a flight to South Korea that very night.
But during the flight, he encounters a strange and unsettling man who seems to know far more about him than he should. Upon arriving in Korea, Marco is immediately hunted down by the same man—an assassin known only as “Nobleman”.
As if that weren’t enough, Marco becomes entangled with Director Han, a powerful figure with hidden motives; Han Yi Sa, an ambitious heir seeking control of his father’s fortune; and Yun Ju, a mysterious woman from his past.
Trapped in a chaotic chase filled with violence, betrayal, and shocking revelations, Marco must uncover the truth about his father—and himself—before everything falls apart.
