- Synopsis:
Detective Oh Byeong-ho (Hah Myung-joong) of the Munchang PD gets assigned to the murder of Yang Dal-su (Lee Dae-keun). As he follows the trail of clues, Oh begins to seek out the people linked to Yang Dal-su's past. He learns that a man named Hwang Ba-wu (Choi Bul-am) had harbored a grudge against Dal-su. He also meets Kang Man-ho, who is somehow connected to Ba-wu, and Sohn Ji-hye (Jeong Yun-hee), a former mistress of Dal-su's who now works in a bar. During the course of his investigation, Oh discovers a shocking secret: Han Dong-ju, the murder victim in the case that put Ba-wu behind bars, is still alive. Once Oh sets out to track down Han Dong-ju, those around him begin to run interference by eliminating the informant. After a tortuous series of events, it is revealed that Yang Dal-su's murder is in fact the same case as the murder of a lawyer named Kim Jong-yub, and Ba-wu and Ji-hye's son Tae-young becomes the prime suspect. Ba-wu serves out his sentence and is released from prison. When he learns that his son has murdered Yang Dal-su and Kim Jong-yub, he declares that everything is his fault and commits suicide. Ji-hye follows suit. Even though the case has been solved and he has discovered a 20-year-old secret, Oh takes his own life out of guilt at having been the cause of Hwang Ba-wu's family tragedy... - Actors:
