With a family background marked by tragedy and sacrifice, the young man grapples with the loss of his father, who was sentenced to death for his ideals.

As he confronts his own ethical and moral dilemmas, the protagonist discovers that his parents' memory is not just a distant recollection, but a call to action, challenging him to find his voice in a world that continues to fight for equity and human rights.
