The story is told through the fragmented diary entries of Kim Byeong-soo, a 70-year-old retired serial killer who murdered people he deemed "unworthy" decades ago. Diagnosed with fast-progressing Alzheimer's disease, his memories are rapidly fading. When a new serial killer targets women in his quiet town, Byeong-soo realizes the killer is Park Joo-tae, the man dating his beloved adopted daughter, Eun-hee. Determined to protect her before his memory completely disintegrates, Byeong-soo plots one final murder—while struggling to distinguish between real threats, unreliable memories, and paranoid delusions.
