One poor decisionleads to another and soon his whole life begins to unravel. He finds himselfthe subject of vitriolic press attacks, a police investigation and so muchpublic loathing that he starts to wonder if he has any chance of receiving afair trial. As the line blurs between his own life and that of the character heplays on TV, Kevin is forced to confront a lifetime of inadequacy in order toredeem himself.
