Outline:

Hiding his past as an NIS agent, Hae-il becomes a priest with intermittent explosive disorder. He eventually causes trouble at the cathedral he was stationed at, and is sent to Gudam Cathedral in Gudam City. Thanks to his teacher Lee Young-jun, he settles down there.



But Young-jun is killed in a mysterious accident and even ends up being framed while being pressured by local gangs over the sale of land. Infuriated, Haeil heads to the police station to intimidate them, but it has a reverse effect, and he carries out the investigation alone only to end up in a holding cell.



After all this, Hae-il happens to find Young-jun's journal and learns that everyone is connected to the Gudam City Cartel (the borough chief, chief of police, congressmen, chief prosecutor, and Daebeom Trade's CEO Hwang Cheol-beom)and contacts the Vatican via a letter. The letter somehow works, and the investigation into Young-jun's death is reopened with Hae-il demanding that he take part. He goes after the Gudam Cartel with a detective appointed by the Cartel, who happens to be the worst detective in Gudam, Gu Dae-young.
