Ji Zheng, a former legend in the legal world, reappeared in order to overturn an unjust case that had been sealed for five years; but the idealistic prosecutor Su Yan was ordered to nail him to the dock. When silent forensic doctors, ambitious politicians, vengeful self-media people and retired former judges surfaced one after another, a game outside the court quietly unfolded. They are not fighting over winning or losing, but over whether the law is still worthy of belief.
Ji Zheng took over a case of "drunk driving causing death", and the deceased was actually the brother of the client whose defense he failed. Su Yan was ordered to prosecute, but during evidence collection, it was discovered that the autopsy report had been tampered with, and the clues pointed directly to forensic doctor Lin Zhiqiu and former trial judge Chang Jiang Linchuan. As Chen Yu's public opinion storm swept across the country, Shen Zhao took the opportunity to promote the "judicial transparency" reform, which in fact took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents. Ji Zheng was forced to form a subtle alliance with Su Yan. The two set up a trap step by step inside and outside the court, uncovering the shady story of the high-level officials fabricating evidence to cover up the death case caused by pollution at a pharmaceutical company. Lin Zhiqiu handed over the poison evidence, Jiang Linchuan surrendered but demanded to die in exchange for the truth being exposed. Shen Zhao was eventually backlashed, and Su Yan chose to resign from public office after winning the lawsuit and jointly founded an independent judicial supervision agency with Ji Zheng. The ending is left blank: an anonymous letter was sent to the two people's offices, and attached was an autopsy photo of a new case - Jiang Linchuan's initials was engraved on the inside of the deceased's wrist.
