Bong Sang Pil is a lawyer with a high win rate who is driven by a personal mission. When he was young, he witnessed his mother’s murder after she became involved in a case tied to Judge Cha Moon Sook, a respected figure with deep influence in the city. Sang Pil was taken in by his gang boss uncle and grew up learning to survive through both street skills and strategy. He later becomes a lawyer to take revenge on the people responsible for his mother’s death.
After many years, Sang Pil returns to his hometown to reopen the case and confront the powerful network that protects Judge Cha Moon Sook and Ahn Oh Joo, a former gangster who is now a corporate leader. He uses legal loopholes, bold tactics, and his past experience to challenge those who believe they stand above the law.
Ha Jae Yi is a principled lawyer who loses her license after striking a judge during an unfair trial. She returns to Gisung and eventually joins Sang Pil to settle her father’s debts. As they work together, she discovers that Sang Pil carries a secret connected to her own family. The two take on a dangerous fight against corruption, risking everything to expose the truth behind the city’s most powerful figures.
