Description
The Magistrate's world is one of quiet desperation, where the boundaries between order and chaos are constantly blurred. As the years pass, the tiny frontier settlement he governs becomes increasingly isolated, its inhabitants living in a state of uneasy anticipation of the war that is to come. Yet, when the interrogation experts arrive, the Magistrate's complacent existence is shattered, forcing him to confront the harsh realities of a world in which justice and decency are in short supply.
