Thomas Crimmins, a naive new warder in an Irish prison, is keen to enforce justice. His superior, Regan, views inmates as humans and despises the eye‑for‑an‑eye executions of “quare fellows.” When Crimmins becomes involved with Kathleen, the condemned man's wife, he recognizes the moral grayness of his duty. Emerging doubts about the prisoner’s guilt force him to choose between duty and compassion.
