A house gun - kept like a house cat: a fact of ordinary life. Harald, a respected insurance executive, and his doctor wife, Claudia, are faced with something they thought could never happen to them. What kind of loyalty do they owe a son who has committed the unimaginable? Where have they failed him? The death penalty is being challenged as invalid under the country's new constitution, but is still on the statute book. Everything in their world has changed.
