In 1986, a tiny rural town near the city of Hwaseong, Gyeonggi province, was rocked by a series of rapes and murders targeting its female residents.

A total of 10 women were killed over the course of five years, while the authorities failed to identify the perpetrator, limited by the technology of the time and a series of mistakes that occurred during the investigation.
