  Inspired by true events, a story of a materialistic tax lawyer who evolves into a true attorney to defend a group of innocent students falsely accused and tortured by the dictatorial military government.

  Down in the port city of Busan, Korea in the early 1980s is a tax attorney named SONG Woo-seok. His lack of connections, money, and a college degree forces him to take on all sorts of jobs other lawyers would shun, ranging from filing real estate registration forms to giving out legal advice on taxes. But an excellent eye for business and an appetite for money turn him into one of the most successful lawyers in town. He soon receives once in a lifetime recruiting offer from a major national corporation.

  Just when his life is about to change, the owner of a small restaurant, who he is indebted to, urgently seeks his help for her son. He had been eating at her restaurant every single day for her kindness that she showed him over an unpaid bill back when he was studying for the bar exam seven years ago. Unable to ignore her desperate plea, he decides to at least help her get a visitation with her incarcerated son. But what await them at the prison's visitation room are the unexpected signs of brutality and torture they discover all over her son's body. Moreover, that he is been falsely accused by the dictatorial government. Stunned to utter disbelief, SONG decides to take on the case that no other lawyer would dare to.

[ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ]
  This is a story about the biggest financial fraud attempted in Hong Kong, directed at the Government of Hong Kong and involved all 7 million Hong Kong citizens…No one is free from the scheme.

  When the wife of an up-rising star Superintendent of police force reported his corruption simply out of bitterness for being ill-treated, little did she know she is about to pull the head string from a very well weaved web of deceive, greed, sex, power, and last but not least, fear.

  The ICAC agent William Luk who took charge of the simple complaint felt otherwise...It’s his passion for justice that has been driving him all these years in the battle against bribery and corruption, even after losing his beloved wife.

  Further investigation soon revealed many un-answered questions and loose ends...The death of Law Tak Wing, an ex-godfather status accountant of Hong Kong, the threats to even the seemingly harmless witnesses and informers, and the surfacing of Angel, an attractive but mysterious lady that has all connections with Luk’s wanted list...As Luk dug deeper into the web, he is being hunted by trained foreign mercenaries; a tactic very seldom or never heard of in the history of Hong Kong’s underworld!

  This time, Luk has to face many opponents: high profile chartered accountants, high ranking law enforcers, power lawyers, the super entrepreneurs; they all have their shares of play, but none can really grasp the big picture; they are there only for what they desire most.
