Introduction to the story of Atonement:

'Find me the murderer! If you can't find it, atone for it in a way that pleases me!"

Emily, the girl from Tokyo, is dead.

In the face of Emili's mother's questioning, the four girls who were at the scene of the murder could not give the answer anyway.

Everyone remembered the details of that day, except for the face of the killer. After this brutal murder, several people's lives seemed to come to a complete halt on that hot summer day.

For 15 years, everyone has been atoning for their SINS in their own way. In their endless guilt, they escape, lie, suspect, hurt themselves, and even kill.

Fifteen years later, their heart-pounding confessions revealed a shocking secret that restored the whole picture of the case. Until then, the killer finally surfaced.

The real "atonement" has just begun...
