20 years after being arrested for the brutal murder of 5 men, Jung Yi-shin, nicknamed "The Mantis", is still serving her sentence behind bars. Her son, Cha Soo-yeol, now a policeman, grew up hating his mother, whom he considers a monster.
But when a new crime occurs, strangely imitating La Mante's modus operandi, the police are forced to call in Jung Yi-shin. Jung Yi-shin agrees to cooperate... on one condition: that her son, Cha Soo-yeol, is the only one who will talk to her.
