In South Korea in 1987, a high-pressure military regime shrouded the whole country.A young college student died after being tortured during police interrogation.Government officials quickly launched a cover-up operation and ordered the body to be cremated immediately, attempting to erase all traces.
However, a prosecutor in charge of signing a cremation permit doubted the claim that a 21-year-old young man had "sudden death from a heart attack."He began to investigate the truth and gradually uncovered the lie carefully woven by power.
Although the entire system is trying to block the news and silence witnesses, the truth cannot be buried forever.When the facts surfaced, public opinion erupted like a volcano, and the anger of the people swept across the country, setting off a storm of justice that shakes the times.
