On October 26, 1979, the assassination of the president occurred. Taking on the defense of `Park Tae-joo,? the secretary to the Director of the Intelligence Agency involved in the presidential assassination, is the top courtroom brawler `Jung In-hoo,? who plunges into the worst political trial in the history of South Korea. Although `Jung In-hoo? fights tirelessly to ensure that `Park Tae-joo,? who, due to his military status, faces a finalized sentence after a single ruling, receives a fair trial, he erupts in anger at the unfair proceedings of the trial. ?Do you expect me to betray my boss to save myself?? Thirty minutes before the incident, `Park Tae-joo? received an order from the Director of the Intelligence Agency to suppress the bodyguards if anything happened. The central issue in court is whether his actions were premeditated conspiracy for a rebellion or obedience under duress. `Jung In-hoo? suggests a testimony that could help `Park Tae-joo? escape the charges, but `Park Tae-joo? maintains his loyalty, refusing to betray his trust. Meanwhile, `Jeon Sang-doo,? the head of the Joint Investigation Team, harbors dangerous ambitions following the October 26th event. Mocking Jung In-hoo?s confidence, Jeon Sang-doo eavesdrops on the trial and manipulates the proceedings by passing notes to the judges in real-time, effectively controlling the trial. The worst political trial in South Korean history, hastily conducted over just 16 days, is about to begin!
