Synopsis

The murder of a prominent casino mogul fifteen years prior set the course of two boys' lives. One was left as the "son of the victim" with no father and the other was marked as the "son of the killer" due to his father's crime. As adults, they meet again as a prosecutor and an investigator.

Lee Chae-ha, the "son of a killer", works in the Fine Enforcement Department. He investigates a power abuse case involving the youngest daughter of a conglomerate and a director at Danhyeon Land Casino. Prosecutor Ju Tae-seon, the "son of a victim" and nicknamed "office psychopath", is assigned to the case after the duty prosecutor is replaced. The two are dispatched together to investigate a murder near the casino.

Ju Tae-seon, Kang Woo-seok's son, changes his family name from Kang to Ju. He approaches Lee Chae-ha, the son of Lee Gil-young, with a dark goal and seeks to make him suffer. Tae-seon hides his identity and asks Chae-ha to reinvestigate his father Lee Gil-young's case, which was closed in 2010 after the perpetrator's death by suicide. The two work together to uncover the truth, and eventually Tae-son develops feelings for Chae-ha.
