From being professional athletes, they become police officers to bring justice and cease violent crimes. Instead of gold medals, they wear police IDs around their necks as part of the Olympics' special activity for the athletes.

As for the female lead, Kim So Hyun plays Ji Hanna. Like Dong Joo, she is also an Olympic gold medalist and is known as the "shooting goddess" due to her skill and beauty.
