A man commits a murder and turns himself in to the police, pretending not to remember who he is. So begins his lawyer’s odyssey to defend him, despite the fact that the so-called Assassin X does everything to prevent it: he keeps insisting that he doesn’t know what happened. Before his execution by electric chair, he speaks to a priest, confessing the reason for his crime and the story behind it.
