Sung Min-chan, the head pastor of a small church, recently learns that his wife has been having an affair and has also lost the opportunity to become the lead bishop of a newly established megachurch. Meanwhile, Yang-rae, a child abuse convict on parole, comes to Min-chan's church to prey on one of its young members. Min-chan grows suspicious of Yang-rae after seeing his ankle monitor. After the church session, Min-chan's wife frantically calls him to say their son has gone missing. Min-chan researches Yang-rae's background and believes that he is involved.
Min-chae stakes out Yang-rae's home and watches him prepare digging tools. He follows Yang-rae's van to a secluded forest and confronts him, but discovers that the van is empty. While walking back to his car, he notices that Yang-rae's ankle monitor is missing. Yang-rae attacks him, and Min-chan pushes him off a hill, severely injuring him. Min-chan's wife calls and informs him that their son is safe, as he was at a friend's house. Min-chan prepares to surrender himself to the police, but sees the likeness of Jesus Christ appear in a flash of lighting. Min-chan becomes convinced that God has given him the divine task of punishing sinners and seemingly kills Yang-rae. Meanwhile, homicide detective Lee Yeon-hee, whose sister was a rape victim of Yang-rae and had committed suicide after he received light punishment, investigates the disappearance of the young girl being preyed upon by Yang-rae.
Min-chan is suddenly given the promotion to bishop. Believing that he is being rewarded for his actions, he confronts his wife, who confesses to her affair. After arriving at a nursing home for a religious event, Min-chain discovers that Yang-rae survived the fall and is being treated there. Min-chan sneaks Yang-rae out of the home and tortures him, believing that God let him survive for more punishment. Yang-rae admits to kidnapping the girl but refuses to tell him her location, which Min-chan refuses to believe. Meanwhile, Yeon-hee investigates Min-chan and finds where Yang-rae is imprisoned, but she is knocked out by Min-chan.
Min-chan divulges to Yeon-hee his plan to kill Yang-rae and frame her. Yeon-hee breaks free and fights Min-chan while Yang-rae tries to escape. During the struggle, Yang-rae gives a clue to the girl's location before he falls to his death. Min-chan is arrested during police and insists that his actions were done under the order of God.
Yeon-hee deciphers Yang-Rae's clue and learns that the girl is imprisoned at Yang-rae's old home, which is set to be demolished. She rescues the young girl before the home is destroyed. Yeon-hee then visits Min-chan in prison and informs him that the girl is alive, but Min-chan refuses to believe her. Returning to his cell, he cleans a dark spot on the concrete wall and becomes emotional upon seeing what he believes to be the portrait of Jesus Christ imprinted underneath.
