In the heart of 1980s Seoul, where neon lights flicker and dark alleyways hide secrets, an old payphone rings every night at exactly 1:13 AM. No one knows who is calling. No one dares to answer—except Ji-Hoon, a struggling journalist chasing a lead that shouldn't exist.
When Ji-Hoon answers the call, a chilling voice whispers: "You are not who you think you are." From that night on, his world spirals into madness. Shadows start moving on their own. Strangers seem to recognize him by a different name. And then, people connected to the call start disappearing—one by one.
As Ji-Hoon digs deeper, he uncovers a decades-old mystery of a missing girl, a hidden identity, and a secret powerful enough to rewrite history. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he realizes…
Some calls should never be answered.
