Synopsis Bong Ye-bun, a small-town veterinarian, gains the psychic ability to see past memories by touching the rear end of people or animals. She teams up with Moon Jang-yeol, a hot-tempered detective who has been demoted from Seoul to a rural village. Hoping to solve a major case and get his career back on track, Jang-yeol pushes Ye-bun to use her strange psychometric powers to investigate minor crimes and help keep the town safe. As their working relationship develops, the quiet town of Mujin is suddenly shaken by a series of unsettling murders. Ye-bun and Jang-yeol quickly find themselves in over their heads when they realize a dangerous serial killer is hiding in plain sight. Determined to protect the locals and uncover the truth about their own pasts, the unlikely duo is forced to set aside their differences. They rely on quirky townspeople for clues and navigate several close calls as they try to figure out who the killer might be.
Early on, Jang-yeol suspects Kim Seon-woo, a kind and handsome newcomer who works at the local convenience store. While Ye-bun develops a deep crush on Seon-woo and strongly defends his innocence, his behavior continues to seem highly suspicious. Eventually, everything comes together in a final, dramatic confrontation that reveals the true culprit and brings the case to a close.
