Gi Moo-hyeok, an ace lawyer with the prestigious Songha law firm, is assigned to defend Kim Han-soo.
Songha has been retained by Chunmyung High School, which is more interested in settling the case quietly to preserve its public image than in discovering the truth.
Lacking Kim Han-soo's cooperation, Gi tries to create reasonable doubt during the trial by revealing a photo that suggests that Jeong Soo-ah is an escort and that any of her male clients could have attacked her.
Gi's case collapses after Kim Han-soo attempts suicide after he receives a mysterious visit, and he falls into a coma.
Gi Moo-hyeok's career crashes as he is fired from Songha due to the allegations of bribery and tax fraud and his license to practice is suspended.
