In an unspecified African country, idealistic lawyer Emma decides to defend a war criminal allegedly responsible for killing masses of people. The commander of the rebel forces—who claims to have been a child solider—is clearly psychologically disturbed. When preparing for the trial, Emma's curiosity leads her to want to succeed in her client's defense, though he will almost certainly get a death sentence. But an incredible secret awaits her.
