Synopsis

Jae-wan (Sol Kyung-gu) is a successful lawyer who is hired to defend a wealthy executive's son who intentionally killed a man and severely injured the man's daughter.[5] Jae-wan's younger brother (Jang Dong-gun) is a principled paediatrician who prioritizes his patients' health over personal gain and profit.[5] The brothers and their wives meet monthly and enjoy luxurious meals at high-end restaurants, but when they learn of a violent crime committed by their teenagers, it challenges their moral values and changes the tone of their usual dinner discussions.[5] As the situation escalates, their seemingly close brotherly bond starts to fade.[5]
