A crime so gruesome ... a man so mild ... the pieces didn't fit. Follow the lives of highly divergent characters - an abrasive professor leading a dark double life in the decadent parts of town. A lost soul, a teenager who wanders into his tangled web. A gentle actor and dancer, and a haunted former student trying to make peace with his past. The paths of all four cross and lead them into grim circumstances, including a vicious crime, a courtroom drama and a reflection of the lives of all involved.
