==Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©==
Hwang Si-Mok ([[Cho Seung-Woo]]) had brain surgery when he was a child, which caused him to lack emotion. Now, Hwang Si-Mok works as a prosecutor. He is rational, but cold and lonely. He is also one of the only prosecutors not involved in corruption. One day, a dead body is thrown in front of him. He meets Police Lieutenant Han Yeo-Jin ([[Bae Doo-Na]]) at a murder crime scene. They work together to eradicate corruption at the prosecutor's office and solve a serial murder case.
