The outcome is far from certain, as Cynthia embarks on a perilous journey of self-discovery and redemption. Will she find the strength to overcome the obstacles in her path, or will she succumb to the crushing weight of her own doubts and fears? Only time will tell.

"Jika keadilan bisa dibeli, siapa yang akan melawannya?" Bagi Cassandra Sinclair, kebenaran bukan sekadar prinsip, melainkan obsesi yang membakar setiap langkahnya. Sebagai jurnalis investigasi, dia tak segan melanggar aturan demi membongkar sindikat hukum korup yang telah merenggut ayahnya bertahun-tahun lalu. Dengan keberanian dan kecerdasannya, Cassandra memasuki dunia yang penuh kebohongan dan bahaya, ditemani oleh Elias Rowe, sahabat masa kecil sekaligus seorang peretas jenius dari keluarga miliarder yang memiliki akses ke rahasia terdalam para elite. Di sisi lain, Alexander Carter, seorang pengacara idealis, percaya bahwa hukum adalah benteng terakhir keadilan. Namun, semakin banyak kasus yang ia tangani, semakin jelas baginya bahwa hukum bukan lagi tentang benar atau salah, tetapi tentang siapa yang memiliki kekuasaan lebih besar. Perlahan, ia mulai kehilangan keyakinannya terhadap sistem yang seharusnya ia bela. Ketika sebuah investigasi membawa Cassandra dan Alexander ke dalam pusaran konspirasi berbahaya, mereka dipaksa bekerja sama meskipun memiliki prinsip yang bertentangan—Cassandra yang percaya bahwa kebenaran harus diungkap dengan segala cara, dan Alexander yang tetap berusaha memperjuangkan hukum dengan caranya sendiri.

Di balik semua ini, ada sosok yang lebih gelap dan lebih berbahaya—MR. PHANTOM, bayangan yang mengendalikan hukum, politik, dan kejahatan dengan satu gerakan halus. Saat kebenaran mulai terungkap, nyawa mereka dipertaruhkan. Siapa yang benar-benar bisa dipercaya? Siapa yang sebenarnya menarik tali di balik layar? Dan seberapa jauh mereka harus melangkah untuk melawan sistem yang telah lama bobrok?  Dalam dunia di mana keadilan bisa dibeli, hanya mereka yang berani melawan arus yang bisa bertahan. Tapi berapa harga yang harus dibayar?
