Twenty-six year-old Lukasz, well-educated and mild-mannered, is accused of assault on an older woman. Placed in custody awaiting trial, Lukasz’s mental stability becomes threatened as he attempts to find himself within the prison’s pervasive code of criminal ethics. But soon Lukasz discovers that it is his principles that are put on trial as he is faced to choose sides when a man accused of child molestation becomes his cellmate. Nothing will be the same.
