"When betrayal lurks in every shadow and trust is a distant memory, the only constant is the power of wealth. In a world where alliances crumble and loyalty is bought, money becomes the new faith—the only thing you can rely on to survive."

Ma Jin-sung, an ordinary student with a troubled past, unexpectedly earns a spot at Maxwell Presidential University—one of South Korea's elite top three institutions. But his acceptance brings more challenges than triumph. Ostracized by his peers and branded a 'dirtbag,' no one wants to be near him. As tensions rise and the situation becomes more dire, Jin-sung receives a call that changes everything:

'Young Master, the Old Master has summoned you.'

The life he thought he left behind is about to catch up with him, throwing him into a web of power, secrets, and betrayal.
