A success-hungry lawyer finds himself unable to turn his back on a suspicious case involving a child who claims she murdered her brother.

Based on a real crime that happened in 2013: a 10-year-old girl confesses that she killed her little brother by beating him up. An unsuccessful lawyer who started working at a regional children's center, met these siblings before it happened, but he wanted success as a lawyer and cared none for children's welfare.
