The Lighter's Fall

In the shadow of a failed toxic exposure lawsuit, a veteran's trembling hand drops a regimental lighter down a courthouse stairwell. The tiny accident spirals into a catastrophic chain reaction: a prosecutor falls, a key piece of evidence vanishes, a mafia informant is executed, and innocent lives are crushed. Told through the fractured perspectives of the veteran, his daughter, and the guilt-ridden prosecutor, the story unfolds as a psychological suspense where delayed justice becomes a slow, merciless execution of the living, proving that the most devastating murders are not committed by killers, but by time and a system that refuses to listen.
