At the center of the narrative is Jung Soo In (Jeon So Nee), whose life takes a harrowing turn when she becomes infected by a parasite that latches onto her hand. Rather than succumb to its control, Soo In made a strange cohabitation with the parasite. Meanwhile, Seol Kang Woo (Koo Kyo Hwan) is another protagonist in the series, who is making efforts to find his missing sister. Alongside him is Choi Jun Kyung (Lee Jung Hyun), the determined team leader of ‘The Grey’, a specialized unit dedicated to eradicating the parasitic threat.
