Chain of Ashes

In a bleak midwinter, a minor traffic mishap on a frozen interstate sets off a cascade of vengeance, guilt, and bureaucratic inertia. Three strangers—a grieving father, a truck driver with a secret, and a corporate lawyer haunted by conscience—are dragged into a blood pact that none foresaw. As the legal machine grinds toward a hollow verdict, they discover that justice deferred is not merely time lost, but a slow amputation of every hope that still dares to beat.
