As a child, Shin Woo-jin was kidnapped and locked away in a warehouse, forced to live as a slave. But against all odds, he was rescued and finally stepped into the outside world.

All he ever wanted was a peaceful, simple life. But the world had other plans. "As I thought... living a normal life is far too difficult." (Source: Naver Corporation, translated)
