Song Woo Suk (Song Kang Ho) is a tax attorney of humble origins who passed the bar despite never attaining a college degree. He became a lawyer with only one goal in mind: to make money. Woo Suk is initially unsympathetic to student activists, but his entire life and worldview begin to change drastically when he agrees to defend his friend’s son, Park Jin Woo (Im Si Wan), who was arrested for subversive activities and tortured into giving a false confession.
