Personally, I'm not a believer in karma, but whether or not you believe in karma, this story will be interesting.
The story is about Jimmy, a criminal who served time in prison for robbing banks. What does he do after being released? Rob banks. However, Henry shows us that Jimmy isn't a completely terrible person and deserves our empathy. For instance, he gives some of his money to a poor beggar just after his release. Also, he falls in love with a woman and completely changes for her. He's vowed to never break open a safe again.
Yet, despite proving himself a good and loving man, his past seems to creep up on him before he truly gets to appreciate his new life. I felt grim, because it seemed as though, no matter how much an individual changes, their bad deeds from the past will still haunt them.
