Kang In-ho goes to work at Jaae Academy, a school for children with disabilities located in Mujin, as a short-term teacher. Seeing how dark and glum the students look, he finds out that the students are constantly abused and sexually violated. In-ho works with Seo Yu-jin at the Human Rights Center to expose the school staff’s violence, which has remained hidden for a long time, and to save the students from pain.
