Ron Martin strangles his girlfriend when she tries to break up with him; convinced by the blackening of the girl's reputation, a jury lets him off with the lightest sentence permitted by law. Outraged, the girl's father, Gerald Braun, explodes, and kills the boy. While many condemn the man for his act of vengeance, his rabbi Daniel Winter does not, defending his actions in court and appealing that he be released on bail. Shortly after Braun is released, another murder, far more shocking, takes place. Has the rabbi unleashed the anarchic tendencies hidden inside all of us?
