Crime and Punishment

Raskolnikov a destitute and desperate former student wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya a downtrodden sex worker can offer the chance of redemption.
