A sprawling, morally complex examination of injustice and redemption across three fractured lives, unfolding with deliberate, meditative pacing through a landscape of systemic corruption and spiritual searching.

An embittered law student commits a brutal double murder; a family man takes the fall and is forced to take a harsh sentence; and a mother and her two children wander the countryside in search of some kind of redemption.
