action

Budding policewoman Min Su-ah lost her brother and her eyesight in a serious traffic accident. This also ended her career as a police officer. Years later, she would like to work again, but learns that her blindness is not the reason why she is no longer allowed to work, but because she is blamed for the accident. At this time she lived in an apartment with her guide dog . One day her “mother” calls, or the woman who raised her in the orphanage . When Su-ah visits her, her mother tells her that she wants to come to the next breakdance performance of her brother's group. But Su-ah cannot do this because she blames herself for her brother's death and disappears alone. She walks to a stop and calls a taxi service. It is raining very hard and she is told to wait some time.

After a few hours she will be asked if she would like to get on. She thinks the car is a taxi. But the driver hits someone. Su-ah is sure it was human. But the driver claims it was just a dog as he packs the hit body in the trunk. Both clash and fight. However, when the driver sees another approaching car, he flees. Su-ah immediately reports her suspicions to the police, who do not believe her because she is blind. However, a girl is later reported missing nearby. Policeman Jo calls her again and asks for more details.

Shortly afterwards, another witness called Gi-seop came forward. He claims it was not a taxi, but a foreign car. Su-ah and the policeman don't believe him and think he just wants money as a reward for solving the case. When Su-ah and the police officer investigate Jo again, Su-ah believes that Gi-seop might have been right. Also the one the driver offered her coffee. At the same time, Gi-seop is attacked and injured by the driver. Su-ah would like to see him in the hospital right away, because Gi-seop also reminds her of her brother. She also finds out that the perpetrator is probably a doctor because the whole car smelled of disinfectants.

When Gi-seop is released from the hospital, he and Su-ah go their separate ways. In the subway station, Gi-seop sees her getting on the train going in the other direction. To his horror, however, the killer follows her. He calls her and tells her to get off at the next stop. She turns on the camera mode so Gi-seop can see everything and tells her where to go. She can save herself in an elevator. The killer also manages to get in there, but Su-ah's dog pulls him out and the elevator can bring them to safety. However, the killer kills the dog.

Police officer Jo is meanwhile on the trail of the perpetrator. When he wants to investigate, the perpetrator also kills police officer Jo. However, the police have already identified gynecologist Myeong-jin as the main suspect. And he is supposed to be responsible not only for one murder, but for a series of murders and kidnappings. The police immediately examine the suspect's house. There they find corpses and a handcuffed woman. But not the culprit.

Myeong-jin has again managed to find Su-ah and Gi-seop in the orphanage. This is empty at this point because the “mother” has gone out with the children. After a long fight and hide and seek, Su-ah succeeds in bringing down the perpetrator. The police arrive shortly afterwards.
