At an elite ballet company where only the best survive, a twisted story of love and revenge unfolds between two twin ballerinas and the two men entangled with them. Although identical in appearance, the older sister Hajeong has always lived in the shadow of her more talented twin Seojeong.

Years later, Seojeong returns with a new face and a new name—determined to reclaim everything that was stolen from her.
