After one suspect, Yu Mincheol Kim Seunghun, is shot dead but with no conclusive proof he was guilty the countrys president becomes involved and adds to the pressure on the police to solve the case. Choi Cheolgi Hwang Jungmin, a brilliant but sidelined detective at the Metropolitan Investigation Services who has just brought down corrupt property developer Kim Yangsu Jo Yeongjin, is suddenly taken off the case and Kim, thanks to his powerful connections, is released and his case closed. Choi is assigned instead to the serial murders and finally promised a promotion if he can get the police force off the hook by bringing the case to a satisfying conclusion. Choi reexamines the whole case and, with the help of Kims opportunistic rival, Jang Seokgu Yoo Haejin, decides to stitch up one of the other suspects as the killer. He chooses Lee Dongseok Woo Dongi, a school bus driver with a retarded wife Lee Mido and young daughter Park Hayeong who has a past criminal record that includes child molestation. However, Choi and his team are secretly monitored by Joo Yang Ryoo Seungbum, a Seoul District public prosecutor in the pocket of Kim, who is looking for payback on Choi for bringing him down and losing a construction project to Jang. One evening, however, Kim is stabbed to death while playing golf with Joo, and Joo receives embarrassing photos of himself and Kim together.
