action

The company director at Tae-san has a new friend, the singer Park Yu-na. She can't stand his daughter, Mi-ra. One day, while planning the wedding, Mi-ra discovers a sex tape of Yu-na and her previous boyfriend. Mi-ra is drunk from a long night at the club, but meets with Yu-na. The next morning, Yu-na is dead and Mi-ra can't remember anything. Yet she is the main suspect. The cause of death is known: Yu-na was run over and then hit the back of the head against the wall and lost a lot of blood. The car indeed belongs to Mi-ra. But there is still no clear evidence that she drove it. Concerned father Tae-san does everything possible to protect Mi-ra, but his lawyers tell him that it is not looking good for her.

Tae-san hires the young lawyer Choi Hee-jeong for Mi-ra as the main defender. She has known Mi-ra since she was little. Mi-ra told the court that she couldn't remember the end of the night. But witnesses report an argument between Mi-ra and Yu-na. One day, Hee-jeong runs into the stalker Dong-myeong, who was a big fan of Yu-na. She waits in vain in front of his shop. When she is about to go home, one of Tae-san's employees suddenly rushes into the store. He steals the videos, but the police show up so he hides them under a truck. Hee-jeong, who is still on site, takes the tapes. The main tape that shows the murder is not included on it. Instead, Tae-san visits the fan personally and offers him things from Yu-na in exchange for the tape. Since Tae-san does not give him the underwear, no agreement is reached. In addition, Tae-san suddenly has to travel to Thailand .

However, the public prosecutor's office called Dong-myeong as a witness at the next court hearing. Since Tae-san suspects bad things, he has him kidnapped at the parking lot, where he can also take the USB stick . But Hee-jeong sees the whole incident. In the courtroom, she told the prosecutor and the presiding judge that Tae-san had the tape. The public prosecutor's office can quickly issue a search warrant so that he has to hand over the video. This shows how he runs over Yu-na. He is then sued and Mi-ra acquitted.

However, Mi-ra knows that something is wrong with the video. She asks one of her father's employees. He gives her a video with a photo that marks a place in Thailand. Her father is already in prison, but Mi-ra flies with Hee-jeong to Thailand to investigate the matter. You will find a warehouse. The film shows in a flashback how Dong-myeong accepts Tae-san's offer and shows him the video in which Mi-ra runs over Yu-na while drunk. To protect his daughter, he flies to Thailand and recreates the scene, only this time he takes the wheel and runs over Yu-na.
