Lee Cha-don grew up in an orphanage and became a prosecutor, one of the most respected professions in Korea. But, as it turns out, it also can be one of the most corrupt professions, with plenty of opportunities to shake down gamblers and pocket some extra cash. With no memories of his past, Cha-don’s fate is inextricably tied with Bok Jae-in, the daughter of a loan shark who funded Cha-don’s upbringing and education and wants to be repaid for the investment. And a senior prosecutor, Ji Se-kwang, who is responsible for the trajectory of Cha-don’s life, pretends to be a righteous prosecutor while hiding the misdeeds of his past.
In 1998, a wealthy businessman, Lee Joong Man was killed by Ji Se-kwang, and all his property goes to his mistress Eun Bi Riyeong(later: Angelina). Lee Joong Man's wife, Park Gi Soo was accused for that murder, and sentenced to prison. After Park Gi Soo was imprisoned, Lee Joong Man's son, Lee Kang Seok(later: Lee Cha Don) having nowhere to go, went to Ji Se-kwang' apartment, and found out that Ji Se-kwang was having affair with Eun Bi Riyeong, which means that they both have conspiracy for the murder of Lee Joong Man. Lee Kang Seok tried to tell the lawyer and the reporter, who have relationship with his mother murder case, but both of them were later blinded with money offered by Ji Se-kwang. Ji Se-kwang, in order to cover all the crime he had created, tried to kill Lee Kang Seok. Lee Kang Seok running away from Ji Se-kwang, was hit by a car, and lost memory. The person who hit him, Madam Bok Hwa Sool, funded Lee Kang Seok' study, and wished that he becomes a prosecutor.
