La plus sulfureuse de ses clientes a été assassinée chez elle et il est la dernière personne à l’avoir vue vivante. Réussira-t-il à prouver son innocence en sept jours ? Réussira-t-il à sauver sa mère ? Une course contre la montre et une autre contre la mort commencent alors dans l’ambiance lugubre des geôles.
