■ Synopsis

'I will make a place where the hero can come back to when they are tired.'

A childhood promise made by a girl to a boy with a strong sense of justice. However, what awaited them when they became high school students was 'a certain incident' that mercilessly destroyed their peace.

To save the boy who disappeared, the girl gives up her dream of becoming an actress and picks up a weapon called the law. Finally, they reunite after 10 years.

However, the person who appeared before her was not the former boy waiting for help, but a prosecutor who kills his emotions and coldly pursues crimes.

This is the courtroom.

In a place dominated by words and logic, the time that had stopped for the two begins to move again.
