The premise
When a spate of grisly murders throws a city into chaos, a tenacious prosecutor must brace for a cat-and-mouse game against a dangerous manipulator.
Horror Vault's take
A Taiwanese crime thriller series that plunges viewers into the chaos of a city gripped by a string of brutal killings. At its center is a determined prosecutor who finds herself locked in a battle of wits against a killer who seems to be always one step ahead. The show leans hard into the psychological chess match between hunter and hunted, building dread through manipulation and mind games rather than pure shock value. Based on source novel material, it delivers the slow-burn tension of prestige crime drama with a distinctly dark edge.
