Idealistic and passionate rookie lawyer Yen Ching takes on the case of a death row prisoner Ming Te, who has been sentenced to death five times.

Firm in her conviction that law should represent justice, she submits extensive evidence to prove Ming Te’s innocence, only to be disregarded by the judges. Yen Ching soon realizes that she is not merely fighting against the legal system but against the inherent human nature of prejudice. Now faced with the challenge of toppling society’s deeply ingrained “presumption of guilt” principle, Yen Ching strives to save Ming Te from his imminent execution.
