Summary
In Gosan, a quiet South Korean town still reeling from the dead rising and the world nearly unraveling, peace is more performance than truth. After the end of the Rising, the Returned are being reintroduced into society through medication, therapy, and tight government control. But acceptance is fragile, and fear runs deep. The dead may have come back, but nothing is the same—and not everyone believes they should be allowed to stay.
For Jaehyun, returning home means more than just facing his own memories. It means confronting the people who remember him, the ones he hurt, the brother who can’t meet his eyes, and the best friend who stopped waiting. It means learning to exist again in a place that no longer feels like his.
