It Is the Law

At the dark heart of 'It Is the Law' lies a perverse architectural feat of vengeance, orchestrated by Albert Woodruff, a man whose rejection by the ethereal Ruth Allen curdles into a murderous obsession. Eschewing simple violence, Woodruff conceives a metaphysical erasure of his rival, Justin Victor, by engineering a macabre substitution. Upon discovering a biological mirror—a doppelgänger whose physical existence is merely a tool for Woodruff’s exit strategy—he commits a chilling homicide, effectively 'slaying' himself to ensure Victor’s judicial execution. The narrative unfolds as a grim study of legal fallibility, where the shadow of a dead man looms over a prison cell, until a chance encounter years later shatters the illusion of the grave. It is a proto-noir descent into the fragility of identity and the terrifying rigidity of circumstantial evidence.
