A stranger dressed in all black comes to town and produces enough reason to find shelter at the home of the wealthy Kim household.  He does not eat much, speak much, nor does he seem to sleep.  He doesn't seem to do much of anything, but when he does even the King's Black Hand seems to fear him.  When Lord Kim's wife is killed in what seems to be a unfortunate accident, Jin, the Kim's servant girl knows it's no accident.
