Description

A haughty, high-powered attorney, accustomed to navigating the labyrinthine corridors of justice with unyielding confidence, finds himself drawn into a case that will test not only his skills but also his very soul. The defendant is an impoverished altar boy, a young man whose life has been shaped by hardship and vulnerability. Found fleeing from the scene of a grisly murder—the brutal killing of the bishop who had taken him under his wing—the boy stands accused of a crime that seems beyond his fragile frame and innocent eyes. As the attorney delves deeper into the intricacies of this harrowing case, layers of mystery begin to unravel. What starts as a seemingly straightforward prosecution becomes infinitely more complex when the accused, trembling yet resolute, reveals a chilling detail: there may have been a third person in the room—a shadowy figure whose presence looms large over the truth. This revelation sends shockwaves through the courtroom and forces the attorney to confront questions far greater than guilt or innocence—questions about trust, betrayal, and the nature of human morality itself. With each new piece of evidence, the lines between perpetrator and victim blur, compelling the attorney to see beyond the surface of the law and into the depths of the human heart. It is here, amidst the echoes of unanswered prayers and whispered confessions, that he must decide what kind of justice he truly seeks—and whether it can ever be found in a world so riddled with darkness and doubt.
