Story
A high-ranking religious leader finds himself imprisoned on charges of betrayal after standing against oppressive regimes both during and after wartime.

Behind bars, a determined interrogator uses various tactics to force an admission of guilt, hoping to undermine the prisoner's hold on his nation's population.
