Despite coming from a lower-income family and attending a non-prestigious university, Lee Han Yeong longed to rise in the judicial ranks. When he married the daughter of Haenal Law Firm's CEO, he also began a working relationship with her father, using his position as a judge for the firm's benefit. However, as the years went by, Han Yeong's guilty conscience grew stronger, and he eventually defied his orders, sentencing a corrupt chairman to 10 years in prison, only for Han Yeong himself to end up killed. Miraculously, he wakes up to find himself ten years in the past with all his memories intact, and realizes that he has been given a second chance to make things right. With the help of prosecutor Kim Jin A, Han Yeong strives to deliver justice, even in the toughest of times.
