Park plays Kang Bit-na, a judge from the Seoul District Court who is stabbed by an unknown assailant in a park on a snowy night. After being compelled to walk through an ominous portal, she finds herself in a court of the underworld presided over by the demon Justicia (Oh Na-ra).
This court is reserved exclusively for murderers and Bit-na, as a victim of murder, is not among them. Nevertheless, the impatient Justicia condemns Bit-na for her impertinence, brands her with her devil stamp and sends her to Gehenna (in the Bible a place similar to Hades).
