The victims are nearly impossible to identify. The killer¹s motive is a complete mystery. Leading the investigation is Detective Cho (Han Suk-gyu), a burnt-out cop trying to redeem his tainted reputation with this case.

A break opens up in the case when Cho is led to a beautiful and enigmatic young artist. Su-yeon Chae (Shim Eun-ha), with whom all the victims have had relations.

While being drawn closer to the mysterious Su-yeon, he begins unraveling her tortured past, leading to new questions and suspects. Cho decides to investigate her late college classmate and current colleague Ki-yeon. While Cho questions Ki-yeon, the fragile Su-yeon is attacked, but manages to escape.

So bedeviled by plot holes and violations of common sense that by the time you get to the climax, you've ceased to buy the whole story line.

Though it comes from halfway across the world, the movie, directed by Chang Youn-hyun, shows a desultory mastery of Hollywood clichés.

What it definitely lacks is any real human element which would make us care about the victims, Cho or Su-yeon.
