A criminal who should have been executed is brought back from the dead through his mother and stepfather's influence. By forging medical records, illegally altering his sentence, and falsifying sentence reductions, they help him assume a new identity and become the head of a local criminal gang, where he continues to act with impunity. An ordinary prosecutor withstands mounting pressure, exposes the dark truth of judicial corruption, and ultimately brings down both the criminal and his protectors in a sweeping crackdown on organized crime.
