After an intense skirmish with Donny’s men, Chateau has been captured, and Ryang-Ha will stop at nothing to get her back. But she’s being held on a top-secret island, and to infiltrate it, he’ll have to form a tenuous alliance with former foes and the heir to the island itself! Meanwhile, Donny sets his plan in motion, helping Chateau finally remember her bloody past...but to what end? As Chateau’s past and present lives collide inside her head, how will she perform her role as the star of Donny’s sadistic play?

However, that is one wish Ryang- Ha absolutely won’t grant. Desperate to stop her, he gives her the final shove needed to crack open the memories she has of their shared past, but the Ryang-Ha she remembers is not the one who stands before her…

After turning himself in to Donny—the man pulling all the strings—Ryang-Ha is forced to confront his murky past. With little chance of escape, his only hope is to sow chaos among Donny's men, presenting the perfect opportunity for Chateau to break in and come to his rescue!

After being chased down and driven to the brink of death by a mysterious man with a tattoo on his face, Chateau’s left with more questions than answers.
