Written like a screen play about the trail of a young man named Kevin for murmuring a robbery of a drug store. You go through the time he spends in the cell and on trail. He ends up getting off and in the end Miss O'Brien doesn't hug him, she turns away from him. He then tries to film himself to see who he is. It changes all his relationships from then on.
I really had a hard time getting into this story. I didn't really like how it was written like a screen play. I felt like there were so many gaps and it never really lead you to believe one way or the other if Kevin was really innocent or not.
I think the emotional development of Kevin in this story is heartbreaking. He starts off scared and worried that he will be there forever. Then at the end he is released and is perplexed by his lawyer refusing to hug him as if he is still guilty and not worthy.
