Synopsis

On a day no different from any other, a straight-A university student Kim Hyun Soo makes the mistake of his life. Just as any other college kid would, Hyun Soo is on his way to hang out with his friends. Late at night, he takes his father’s taxi to head over to where his friends are. Hong Guk Hwa, a sad-looking mysterious girl mistakes Hyun Soo’s taxi for an on-duty cab and hops in. That was the beginning of everything. All the choices Hyun Soo made that night leads the normal university student to becoming the prime suspect in a violent murder case. While Hyun Soo shivers from fear and the fact that he is falsely accused, everyone still points to him as the only possible murderer. In this hopeless situation, those who stretch out a helping hand are a low-life attorney, Shin Joong Han, and a criminal kingpin who rules the prison food chain, Do Ji Tae. To prove his innocence in any way possible, Hyun Soo gives everything he has to fight against the police and the Korean prosecution.
