In 1909, the Korean Empire is on the verge of losing its sovereignty to Japan. Patriot Ahn Jung-geun and his comrades pledge their lives to the movement for Korea's liberation. Seol-hee, a court lady of the late Empress, also expresses her intent to join the independence movement. Ito Hirobumi, the first Japanese resident-general on the Korean Peninsula, heads to Harbin to pursue his dream of advancing into Asia. On Oct. 26, 1909, a shot rang out at Harbin Station. Beloved son, father of two children, and husband, Ahn Jung-geun, assassinated Ito Hirobumi. In court, Ahn claims not to be a terrorist, but a prisoner of war desperate to protect his beloved homeland, Korea. Who is the one guilty of a crime?
