Mercy’s Ledger

In the Republic of Donghae, where the Moonlight Fund scandal shattered countless lives, former bank manager Yoon Se-hyun loses everything to a flawed Supreme Court ruling that deemed the misselling “insufficient explanation, not fraud.” Reborn as a cynical private detective and gastronome, he is hired to probe the charitable empire of “Hands of Salvation,” a transnational religious organization. Yoon soon unearths an unholy alliance between sanctimonious bankers, a messianic bishop, and a shadowy syndicate, all laundering a torrent of black money through altar offerings. In a society that worships financial success as the only virtue, high intellect becomes a weapon for sacred crime. This noir thriller follows Yoon’s journey through backstreet noodle stalls and cathedral vaults, as he seeks not just justice, but a redefinition of his own ruined life.
