A serial killer targeting elementary school students is set - and five of them even include the president in the investigation. When the most likely suspect dies in custody and the case looks like a dead end, high-ranking police officers decide on a murderer - and everyone will do that. Although detective CHOI Cheol-gi has had an incredible number of arrests during his career, his rank never showed. He was framed and demoted for another crime and decides that this is his last chance for professional salvation. He makes a deal with mob boss JANG Seok-gu, whom he has investigated, and together they decide to use one of the existing suspects as a serial killer. The only hurdle in their plan is prosecutor JU Yang, who takes over the case. JU itself was involved in a deal with the head of a rival criminal organization, and President Kim wants CHOI to be released from his position. When the secret deals and filing agreements come to light, they only serve to pull CHOI, JU, JANG, and KIM deeper and deeper into a dark hole of questionable ethics and law-abuses.
