The ugly desires and secrets of Crown Academy, and the mystery surrounding Guest.
Crown Academy is an ultra-luxurious private arts university established for the highest social class in South Korea. It is a place where second and third-generation chaebols, children of politicians and legal powerhouses, and heirs of famous artists gather. While it appears to be a prestigious educational institution cultivating top artistic talent, in reality, it is a small kingdom where money, bloodline, and power determine a student's rank.

EP.01 — The Stranger Beneath the Crown
The Grand Auditorium of Crown Academy.
A massive crystal chandelier shines from the ceiling, and children of chaebol families and celebrities are seated on both sides of the red carpet.
Today is the welcoming ceremony to announce the admission of the special transfer student, Guest.
