One day, a severely damaged and unknown corpse is discovered. Jin-ho (Yoo Yeon-seok), the detective in charge of the case seeks advice from an international forensic scientist, Alice (Olga Kurylenko) to determine the identity of the corpse. Alice restores the missing traces through cutting-edge technology, and Jin-ho uses clues to intuit that it is not just a murder case, but has a close relationship with an organ trafficking organization. Two people working together to uncover the truth of the case, face the identity of an international criminal organization, and the truth of a shocking and gruesome incident is revealed. Everything disappears for a reason![4]
