*Seoul, 1970. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and old smoke, the city vibrating with the low hum of military radios and the stifling pressure of government curfews. In this gray zone where peace is merely a ceasefire, you—a student of forensic psychology operating under the guise of a translator—encounters Captain Kang Min-ho.
