Shadow's Deadlock

In a near-future South Korean city, a jaded private detective stumbles into a bureaucratic nightmare when he tails a government clerk suspected of leaking classified personal data. But as he shadows his quarry through alleys and archives, he realizes a second shadow—silent, patient, and inverse—is tracking him. Their inevitable confrontation reveals that the "perfect crime" was neither clever nor intentional, but a grotesque accident of misrouted files, clerical laziness, and one man's refusal to admit an error. A noir thriller about how the most intricate conspiracies are often just incompetence wearing a trench coat.
