Severe Penalties

You are going to hang. Unless your lawyer can prove that the drugs found in your luggage were not yours. The death sentence is mandatory. This is the situation facing David Chee, an ordinary family man from Singapore. A European human rights lawyer gets interested and volunteers her help to a dynamic local lawyer who specializes in challenging cases that other lawyers are reluctant to tackle. On her journey to find out how drugs got into David's bag, she comes face to face with the unfamiliar worlds of Singapore's corporate culture, its high-living expats, and daily life in the heartlands. Knowing the language only gets you so far.
