Peter Brady, a hard-working and loyal factory hand, is laid off after a lifetime's service. As he struggles to come to terms with his new situation, tragedy strikes; his wife is brutally murdered right before his eyes. His life falls apart and Brady, lost and friendless, goes deeper and deeper into himself on a journey that takes him from despair to near-insanity – until Harry Hawkins, who led the original investigation into his wife’s murder, reappears to turn him around and back him up as the trial begins.
