It tells the narrative of South Korea's first jury trial in 2008. It chronicles the case of a son viciously murdering his mother, with every piece of evidence pointing to a guilty verdict. However, the study does not go as well as planned. The eighth juror, Kwon Nam Woo, a youthful entrepreneur, disputes the defendant's self-declaration of guilt. As a result, the presiding judge, Kim Joon Gyum, has called for a new discussion to determine whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. The jury is made up of eight regular individuals of all ages and personalities who, once appointed, search for the truth of the case.
