and media believe the case is the work of the same serial killer, but Hyoi (Ryu
Deok-Hwan), who runs a small stationery shop in the neighborhood, knows something
really interesting has happened. He knows that it is a copycat crime because he
is the real killer. While Gyeong-joo’s childhood buddy and police officer
Jae-shin (Lee Sun-Kyun) begins to suspect that there may be a second killer,
anxious Gyeong-joo and Hyoi, begin their own secret investigations to track
down each other. Kyung-ju is a struggling novelist who writes violent and gory murder
mysteries. When a fierce argument with his landlady ends in her death, he

the latest killing was a copycat murder, he begins his own investigation to
track down the killer with help of his detective friend.
