Synopsis

A mysterious young man jolts awake after months in a coma, nursed back to health by young student-doctor Ailin after being discovered left for dead with a gunshot wound to the head. It’ s a rebirth of sorts and, realizing that the man has lost his memory and identity, Ailin renames him Ishmael.
The two quickly grow closer, not realizing that behind their momentary peace lies danger. Soon their lives collide with a gang of dangerous criminals led by an enigmatic crimelord known simply as Lee.
As Ishmael begins to suspect that his true identity is closely tied to these criminals, Ailin is violently taken. Determined to save the woman who rescued him, Ishmael has no choice but to confront his past. But with every violent confrontation that Ishmael encounters his memory
brings him closer to a dark truth as the lethal personality awakening within him starts to reveal who he really is.
