Synopsis

Jin Yeongwon, an unregistered special forces sergeant, has deliberately avoided using his abilities as a Sentinel for years. But when his hidden power is exposed, he is forcibly transferred into a classified unit where Sentinels are weapons, not choices.

There, Yeongwon meets Captain Myeong Haejun, an A-rank Guide assigned to stabilize him. From the start, Yeongwon resists, haunted by the trauma of the day his powers first awakened. He refuses to fight as a Sentinel, believing that using his ability again will only drag him back into that nightmare.

Command does not agree. Orders come down for Haejun to deploy Yeongwon into active combat, regardless of his condition.

Then one night, air raid sirens pierce the base. As explosions echo overhead, Yeongwon is thrown back seven years, forced to relive the moment that broke him.

With danger closing in and trust still unformed, both men must decide whether survival is possible without confronting the past head-on.
