Whether it's nationality, race, or social status, it does not matter before crimes. As the world is coming closer together and borders recede, it has become harder to track down the violent crimes that occurred and spread all around the world with just one country's specific investigative authority. Therefore, a multinational network that handles global crimes has been established, which is the worldwide crime infotainment where veteran police officers from all parts of the world are gathered. From remote past to present and from a murder that shook up a town to an international crime targeting citizens of the world, the actual police officers in charge will guide you through the fiction-like but real crime scenes.

But the villains have other plans – and plan to break free. Once they do so, they attempt to take over the ship...and turn it into a water-bound hell. But the criminals are not aware that they are not the Frontier Titan’s only cargo on this journey. Something even more deadly than Jong Doo and his criminal counterparts has come along for the ride...and threatens to unleash a horror unlike anyone has ever seen before!

Kang Yo Han (Ji Sung) is the “Devil Judge” – the head judge of the highest court in the land. In a dystopian South Korea of the future, his word is the law, but his courtroom is also a television studio, and the court has become the ultimate TV reality show, with viewers invited to participate in a live, self-styled “people’s court.” Here, greed and corruption are apparently exposed for all the nation to see, and punishments meted out accordingly. A divisive figure, the public is unsure as to whether Kang Yo Han is a true popular hero or a malicious force sowing the seeds of chaos in his court.

Meanwhile, Jung Sun Ah (Kim Min Jung) is a tough, intelligent, and ambitious woman with a hunger for power. She has formed a bitter rivalry with Kang Yo Han and has risen from poverty to become the director of a corporate social responsibility foundation. She wields considerable behind-the-scenes power, maintaining close ties with politicians and business leaders alike – and is hellbent on promoting her own vision of the future. She is also gunning for the “Devil Judge” himself – hopeful of uncovering her rival’s darkest secrets.

Into this turbulent world step two childhood friends on a quest for true justice: a rookie orphan judge called Kim Ga On (Jinyoung) and a police officer named Yoon Soo Hyun (Park Gyu Young). Do they have what it takes to take on the scheming Jung Sun Ah...and the “Devil Judge?”
