Despite clear signs of brutal violence, the social worker has the boy’s grandmother, who is suffering from dementia, sign the death certificate stating the cause of death was an accidental drowning. Following the incident, the grandmother dies alone from distress, and after losing all his loved ones, the victim’s twin brother, Joo Il-woo, is left on his own to seek justice.
