When Kim Ji Yong was a child, he witnessed his mother’s brutal murder on the streets, only for the perpetrator to receive a shockingly lenient three-and-a-half-year sentence. Now, as an adult, Ji Yong confronts his mother’s killer, exacting his own violent justice with a ruthless assault.

This act of vengeance sets Ji Yong on a path of duality. By day, he is a model student at the police academy, the epitome of dedication and discipline. By night, he transforms into Vigilante, a shadowy enforcer who targets criminals who have escaped justice through lenient sentences, meting out his own form of retribution.

Ji Yong’s secret vigilante activities attract the attention of Cho Kang Ok, a fervent admirer who becomes his ally. Meanwhile, Detective Cho Heon, a relentless investigator, is hot on the trail of the enigmatic Vigilante, determined to unmask and stop this rogue avenger. As Ji Yong balances his double life, the tension between his quest for justice and the law enforcement closing in on him reaches a boiling point.
