Set against the wave of democratization and cultural modernization that swept through South Korea in the early 1990s, the series centers on a middle-class family concealing a treasonous secret. Though appearing to be ordinary citizens to their friends, neighbors, and even their own children, Kim Myeong Jun—an elite North Korean spy who has been living in South Korea for over a decade while hiding his true identity—and Yun Hwa Gyeong, a North Korean spy who has settled in South Korea as his carefully disguised wife, are in fact operatives working to destabilize the South from within. As the series unfolds, the pair are pulled between their allegiance to their homeland, their sense of self, and the bonds they have formed as a family, while Cha Gi Seok, a relentless counterintelligence detective and former violent crimes unit officer who moves in next door, edges ever closer to exposing them.
