With the help of a gutsy female detective, a prosecutor, who has lost the ability to feel empathy, tackles a murder case amid political corruption.
As a teen, prosecutor Hwang Si-mok received surgical treatment for his abnormally developed brain, but the procedure left behind serious side effects.
The convict's strong plea for his innocence prompts Si-mok to review the CCTV clip. At the Yongsan police station, he runs into officer Han Yeo-jin.
Si-mok volunteers to appear on live national TV to discuss Kang Jin-seop. He also makes a bold promise to find the culprit within two months.
Rumors quickly spread about Si-mok's violent nature. Regardless, he persists in his investigation. He finds his mentee, Young Eun-su, suspicious.
Si-mok, puzzled by the details of the most recent murder case, visits the victim's home to seek more clues. Yeo-jin joins him in the investigation.
New pieces of evidence only increase the list of possible suspects. In the midst of the confusion, a few begin to question Si-mok's innocence.
Si-mok and Yeo-jin team up to covertly pursue Seo Dong-jae. Just as Dong-jae is about to throw something into the Han River, Yeo-jin stops him.
Enraged by what the police did to Park Kyung-wan, Yeo-jin tries to confront her superior but is stopped by Si-mok, who warns her of the consequences.
Si-mok selects key lawyers and police officers to be part of the special investigations team. Their probe begins with Dong-jae as the starting point.
Fearing for Ga-young's safety, Yeo-jin proceeds to transfer her to a different hospital. A nurse informs Yeo-jin of something strange that happened.
The truth behind Ga-young's convulsions is revealed. Chang-jun's wife receives a travel ban. Woo-gyun asks Chang-jun to help him get out of his mess.
Si-mok and Yeo-jin discover perplexing leads while searching Kyung-wan's basement. Dong-jae goes back to Chang-jun's office to fetch his cell phone.
Returning home from the rooftop party, Si-mok discovers that an intruder has left something in his bedroom. Yeo-jin and Geon come over right away.
Yeo-jin suspects a new killer is involved in the latest murder incident. Meanwhile, Si-mok collapses after leaving the autopsy.
Yeo-jin collects evidence as Si-mok interrogates the suspect. Many questions get answered, but the most important problem of all remains to be solved.
Si-mok sets out to meet the one he believes is the real murderer. He gets his hands on a bag that will determine the futures of many people.
