Synopsis:
Tim (Aaron Kwok -
Life For Life &
Thrown Down) is a defense attorney with a heart of gold. Refusing to simply be a hired gun for his wealthy clients, Tim quits his job at a prestigious law firm to become a prosecutor at the Justice Department. With support from his fiance Megan and his cop buddy Nam (Liu Kai-chi), Tim decides to start life anew.
When he chances upon a handicapped piano teacher Jing (Gwei Lun-mei -
Flying Swords Of Dragon Gate &
GF BF), she begs Tim to help her. She has accused her doctor, the renowned surgeon Zhou (Chang Chen), of sexual harassing her during a check-up in his clinic. The doctor and the patient were the only ones in the room, and each of them offers contradictory testimony. The case soon turns into a Rashomon-esque mystery.
To up the ante further, Zhou's defense attorney is the talented Freddy (Xia Yu), who has taken over Tim's previous position at the prestigious law firm. The sharp-tongued lawyer proves to be Tim's toughest opponent to date. The media frenzy around this sexual harassment case slowly begins to destroy the lives of everyone involved, especially those of the doctors' wife Jie (Qin Hailu) and his young daughter. Tim soon realizes the cost to the truth may simply be too much to bear.
