Two wealthy families are put on opposite ends of the moral spectrum when a shocking secret is revealed, forcing them to make a decision over the course of one dinner that will change their lives forever.

Jae-wan, an opportunistic criminal defense lawyer who has no problem defending murderers, and his younger brother Jae-gyu, a morally adept and warm pediatrician, meet once a month with their wives for a luxurious dinner. One day, security camera footage of a violent crime goes viral, and between the lines, the families uncover a shocking secret. Both couples come to the dinner table with truths that are impossible to accept and principles impossible to reconcile. The dinner starts with a tense atmosphere…
