A tense, procedural thriller about surveillance and cat-and-mouse pursuit between police and a cold criminal mastermind, grounded in tactical detail and mounting paranoia.

She teams up with Hwang Sang-jun, the veteran leader of the unit, and tries to track down James who is the cold-hearted leader of an armed criminal organization.
