In the 16th year of King Jeong-jo’s rule a series of murders break out in the capital
of Joseon. The King suspects that the murders are a part of some high officials’
conspiracy to cover up an embezzlement scandal. He commissions the famous detective K to solve the case and find out who is behind the murders. Kim Jin’s investigation is off to a shaky start as he gets attacked by assassins from day one. He nar-
rowly escapes death with the help of a dog seller, Seo Pil. Together, they head out
to Jeokseong to find Wolfsbane– the flower that holds the key to the case. There,
they meet a beautiful business magnate, Han, who seems to hold far more secrets
than it at first appears. But how can someone so beautiful be so evil? Detective K
and his trusty sidekick must keep all their wits about them if they are to save the
empire and themselves.
