The 12-episode series is written by Gi Ryang, and directed by You Sundong (“The Uncanny Counter”).

After years of shunning advertisers and breaking some of the country’s biggest and most contentious news stories, the Trigger investigative news team’s days are numbered after broadcasting an exceptionally controversial story. 

With time running out on their careers, they are challenged to accomplish the impossible if they want to save their jobs – uncover the identity of an insider who’s been leaking personal stories about the team and solve a 20-year-old cold case involving a famous actor who disappeared without a trace.
