When Clement Anthony, a young ministerial student, finds an abandoned
child in an alley, he takes on a task in practical Christianity that
tests his character and faith. Thrust from the safety and comfort of an
abstract and academic devotion, Clem follows the costly journey of human
life to murder and ultimate sacrifice. He confronts institutional
failure in every segment of society posing as a channel for justice and
care. In his compassion and love for the child, he travels to the depths
of human experience and loses everything which identifies him.
