After a prickly first meeting, Seok-hee sees something in Yoon-do and hires him as her lawyer, and he starts working for the TOP Team at MC Group.

They are helped by an editor and a reporter of a small newspaper and a friendly police officer but must struggle against the power and long reach of TOP.
