The setting takes place during the chess championships between American Freddie Trumper and Russian Anatoly with a love story between Anatoly and Florence. 
Singer Shin Sung Woo and musical actor Lee Kyun Myung will take on the role of rival Trumper, and Florence will be played by Ahn Shi Ha and Lee Jung Hwa.
