Warnrak meets Din, a local forensic pathologist and medical physician, who used to be her friend in childhood and often annoyed her, also teams up with her in order to find the murderer. Together with them is Trichai, a young and handsome police lieutenant, who is always ready to help.

Production edit
Lhong Klin Chan is a TV series adaptation of the novel in the same title by Nichnita. It is the second series after Lilawadee Plerng in early 2015 that the two lead performers (Anyarin Terathananpat and Thanwa Suriyajak) joined together.
In addition, the series is also similar to Lilawadee Plerng, because they are in the same investigation genre, as well as produced by the same production crew. Although the two are not related at all.[2][3]
