A young man responds to the untimely death of his mother with a retreat inward and a complete indifference to the event and everything else in his life. When later in the story he kills a man in self defense, his strange actions surrounding his mother's death become the focus of a bewildering and sensational trial. Beautiful reflections about the nature of man and God are displayed with gorgeous illustrations in this graphic adaptation.
