## Plot Summary

### Act 1

A student on Elixir is on a rampage at her school, threatening to burn down the school's new cafeteria, while several police officers outside discuss what to do. As they go over possible options, Kang Soyoung arrives and introduces herself as a member of SWAT 4. Soyoung enters the school despite the officers' protests, saying she'll be fine due to certain items found in the school storehouse.

Inside the school, the student feels woozy as Soyoung reveals herself. Soyoung reveals that she spread fuel for the school's coal stove around the school, causing lots of carbon monoxide to proliferate. The student attempts to burn Soyoung regardless, but is unable to due to the reduced oxygen in the air. The police then enter the school and take the student prisoner. The officer in charge then commends Soyoung for her inventive thinking.

Back at the police station, the police chief is outraged over Soyoung using carbon monoxide against the student. After leaving the chief's office, Soyoung encounters Acting Major Lee Yumi, who was recently recruited to be the new team director of SWAT 4. As Yumi asks about the other members, there's an alert about a black van ramming through the gates of the police station. After handling the intruders and seeing their paper bag masks, Soyoung identifies them as members of Magellan's Prediction Society, a religious criminal cult responsible for producing and selling Elixir.

Meanwhile, Magellan is furious at Bishop Elcano for selling Elixir to a high school student. He orders the retrieval of the Elixir, but Elcano is reluctant due to the recent failure to raid the police station. In response, Magellan says that the angels have provided a divine beast to assist in their plans.

### Act 2

As Soyoung and Yumi eat a meal, the police HQ issues an alert that the captured student has transformed and escaped her prison cell. Kang starts the police vehicle and drives to the student's location while informing Yumi about Elixir's effects. After finding and incapacitating the student, Yumi prepares to execute her, but Soyoung gets in the way, saying the student must be taken in custody. The student manages to get away while Soyoung and Yumi bicker over what to do. Yumi pursues her but is ambushed by a Magellan cultist with an a RPG. With Yumi incapacitated, Elcano and his forces take the student away to their compound. Black Tide mercenaries attempt to stop the Society, but Elcano's forces escape anyway.

### Act 3

Soyoung visits Yumi at the hospital and returns the hair pin she dropped to her. She then lectures her that being a police officer is to protect citizens but not judge them. Yumi reveals she joined the police force to bring criminal Counters to justice, having lost her own parents to such people, and argues that criminals should not excused for their crimes. In response, Soyoung then explains that Elixir was injected into Yumi due to the seriousness of her injuries and attributes it to the Major's survival. When Yumi claims that the student's transformation has gone too far, Soyoung shows Yumi an Elixir neutralizer created by Park Jeongja, explaining that the student can be saved if a sample of the Elixir the student took can be found. Afterwards, the leave the hospital to find the Society and acquire the Elixir.

Meanwhile, Elcano is speaking to the student but is interrupted by a police raid led by Soyoung and Yumi. Elcano attempts to escape, but Yumi subdues him. Soyoung finds the necessary Elixir and fuses it with the neutralizer to heal the student. The student thanks Yumi as Elcano is taken into custody.

Later, a prisoner escapes from a local prison, but Soyoung catches up with the prisoner and is subdued by Yumi. After getting back to the station, Soyoung looks over police records and finds Yumi's file, finding that Yumi's older sister went missing after a fire killed Yumi's parents.
