Flight attendant Ouyang Zhihe appears to have a happy family—until one rainy night, she brutally murders her husband with a golf club. Arrested and silent, she rejects legal aid. But lawyer Zhang Tong, a longtime advocate for women’s rights, refuses to give up on her. Through interviews with family, colleagues, and in-laws, Zhang uncovers a hidden history of domestic violence, infidelity, and psychological torment.
