When 19-year-old Zhou Xiaojun is sentenced to death for the brutal murder of his abusive father, he believes he is the victim of a flawed justice system. However, a death row visit from his estranged mother, Zhou Huilan, reveals a far more sinister truth. Huilan’s younger son from another marriage is dying of heart failure and desperately needs a transplant from someone with Xiaojun’s extremely rare blood type. In a devastating realization, Xiaojun discovers that his mother—who conceived him during a rape by his father—actually committed the brutal murder and framed Xiaojun so the state would execute him, thereby providing a donor heart for her favored son. Heartbroken but resigned to paying the “debt” of his father’s sins, Xiaojun agrees to the ultimate sacrifice, leaving his mother to face the crushing, soul-destroying weight of her monstrous betrayal.
