As if that weren’t awful enough, he happens to stumble upon the killer’s diary, a horrifying record of the heinous crimes committed by a clearly psychopathic serial killer. Terrified by what he has just witnessed and what he has just found, Dong Shik flees in a panic; but he doesn’t get far before he’s hit by the car of Sim Bo Kyung (Jung In Sun).

A member of the local police force, Bo Kyung is horrified by her involvement in Dong Shik’s accident; an accident that left him with two things: a horrible case of amnesia and a serial killer’s diary.

As their stories entwine, Bo Kyung comes to make a life-altering decision: she must find the serial killer and bring him to justice.

There’s just one problem. With no memories of his past, Dong Shik comes to believe he’s the serial killer who penned that gruesome diary.
