From April 11 to June 14, 2014, it broadcast 20 episodes on the cable channel tvN on Fridays and Saturdays at 20:40 (KST). The series is based on the true-life serial killings in Hwaseong.

This narrative is based on the horrific Hwaseong serial killings, which occurred between 1986 and 1991. (which was also the basis for time-travel K-drama Tunnel). However, the plot in this series is set in 1996, with early flashbacks showing a girl being brutally killed by an unknown assailant while strolling alone at night. This was the first of several killings in which the authorities were left with no strong leads to the perpetrator. As the city is seized by panic, Police Inspector Yang Cheol Gon (Sung Dong Il) believes the killer is Ha Il Sik, a mentally challenged man who committed himself to establish his innocence. Seventeen years later Cheol Gun, who is now a decorated officer, requested to be assigned back to the case before he ends his career, but he finds himself assigned under Ha Moo Yeon (Yoon Sang Hyun), the son of Il Sik who vowed to avenge his wrongly accused father.
