Synopsis

The descent from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the barrel can be very quick. Sometimes just one sentence suffices to destroy everything you've built up like a house of cards. A respected doctor, beloved father and husband faces charges of a very serious crime. Overnight he exchanged his high-class address for a cell in custodial prison,  a place from which proving one's innocence proves very hard, especially when the opposition is being aided by a man who may be motivated by personal revenge. They say that the truth always prevails over lies and hatred in the end. That does not necessarily guarantee victory, however.
