The couple in this thriller are in a marriage arranged for political and family gain and have barely spoken to each other in their three-year marriage. Paik Sa-eon (Yoo Yeon-seok) is the youngest spokesman for the Blue House a role which he gained as a former war correspondent and counter terrorist resource. He seems very cold and harsh to his wife, Hong Hee Joo (Chae Soo-bin) who is selectively mute as a result of a traumatic traffic accident. To the outside world Yoo Yeon-seok is a lovingly devoted husband who keeps his wife out of the public eye due to threats to her safety. Their life is upended when Hee joo is kidnapped but Sa-eon doesn't believe it and proclaims they are frauds and that he will believe them when they show him her corpse. This is a final straw for Hee joo, and she turns the tables on the very real kidnapper and claims the phone he had been using in the process.
Having the phone provides what Hee joo perceives is a way out of her cold, loveless marriage. Hee joo uses the voice modulator to sound like her captor and negotiate herself a divorce.

As the conversations intensify, the love that was lying under surface emerges and the couple must pull together to uncover the true enemies that threaten not only their well-being but their very existence.
