Choi Cheol-gi (played by Hwang Jung-min) is a detective known for his unorthodox methods of investigation. He is frustrated with his stagnant career and sees the serial killer case as his last chance to make a name for himself before retirement.
Meanwhile, Joo-yang (played by Ryu Seung-beom) is a lawyer representing the prime suspect, a young man with a history of mental illness. Joo-yang is convinced of his client's innocence, but he faces pressure from his superiors to secure a conviction and advance his career.
As the investigation intensifies, Choi and Joo-yang become entangled in a web of corruption and deceit at every level of the criminal justice system. They soon realize that the case is not about catching the killer but about maintaining their power and reputation.
The Unjust features a powerful performance by Hwang Jung-min and a dark, morally ambiguous storyline that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. The film was a critical and commercial success in South Korea and received international acclaim at film festivals around the world.
