Where to Watch

Classic overview

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. Yen-ching, initially harboring no high hopes, begins to believe in Ming-te’s innocence as she delves deeper into the case. 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.
