A Mark Against Thee

An innocent man named Yeop was wrongfully framed for murder and condemned to death, stripped of his freedom for a crime he never committed. Seventeen years later, his name is finally cleared, and he is released back into a world that has moved on without him. The society he once knew has transformed entirely, and the passage of time has irrevocably altered his friends, his family, and himself. Nothing remains as it was before his unjust imprisonment. The brutal reality of his surroundings and the sheer weight of those seventeen lost years have fundamentally reshaped Yeop’s character. Once a grateful and optimistic young man, he has hardened into a stoic, deeply skeptical individual who views the world through a lens of betrayal and disillusionment. Stripped of his former innocence, he no longer seeks reconciliation with a society that abandoned him. Instead, fueled by the lingering scars of his wrongful conviction, Yeop sets his sights on a singular, consuming goal: exacting calculated revenge against every person and institution that conspired to ruin his life.
