Netflix unveils the first images of « Mousetrap« a dark and tense psychological thriller that promises to blur the boundaries between truth and manipulation. Starring Ryu Jun-yeol and Sul Kyung-gu, the series adapts the webtoon Field Mouse and plunges into the vertiginous fall of a man deprived of everything, right down to his own name.
A writer erased from the world... and from himself
Moon Je is a solitary novelist living on the fringes of society. Overnight, his life is turned upside down: a mysterious man, known only as «the Rat», steals his identity, his fortune and even his social existence. Stripped of all reference points, Moon Je finds himself trapped in a world where nothing belongs to him, not even his past.
Isolated, hunted down and reduced to a shadow of his former self, he soon realizes that he can't get his life back on his own. The loss of his identity becomes the starting point for a descent into a universe where every truth seems to conceal a deeper lie.
A dangerous alliance against an invisible enemy
To survive and confront the man who destroyed him, Moon Je makes a choice as risky as it is unexpected: to ally himself with No Ja, a ruthless loan shark who once pursued him for money. Played by Sul Kyung-gu, No Ja is a brutal man governed by a single law: that of money, whatever the price.
Forced to collaborate, the 2 men embark on a breathless hunt in which the roles of hunter and prey are constantly reversed. As their investigation progresses, the boundary between reality and illusion breaks down, revealing buried truths far more disturbing than the simple loss of an identity.
