Her life takes a drastic turn when her idol, Do Ra-Ik (Kim Jae Yeong), the main vocalist and face of Gold Boys, faces accusations of involvement in a mysterious murder case.
Determined to prove his innocence, Se-Na is forced to conceal her true identity as a fan and take on the case. Little did she know that this journey would pull her into a web of secrets and unexpected truths.
