- Synopsis
- A man falls from a mountain peak to his death.
  The detective in charge, Hae-joon (PARK Hae-il),
  comes to meet the dead man's wife Seo-rae (TANG Wei).
  
  "I worry when he does not come back from a mountain,
  thinking he might die at last."
  
  Seo-rae does not show any signs of agitation at her husband's death.
  With her behavior so unlike that of a grieving relative, the police consider her a suspect.
  Hae-joon interrogates Seo-rae,
  and while observing her on stakeout,
  feels himself slowly developing an interest in her.
  
  Meanwhile the difficult-to-read Seo-rae,
  despite being suspected of a crime,
  acts boldly towards Hae-joon.
  
  A suspect who is hiding her true feelings.
  A detective who suspects and desires his suspect.
  Their Decision to Leave.
