A Descent Man

Cold and calculating, insurance executive Michael Azodo has built a life on refusing mercy to others. Then he meets Rebecca, a compassionate nurse with shadows behind her smile who breaks through his carefully constructed walls. Their intense romance leads to a happy marriage—until Michael collapses.

Hospital tests reveal someone is poisoning him. Evidence points to his beloved wife, but Michael, refusing the police, seeks her hidden motives alone. His investigation uncovers a devastating truth: Rebecca’s true identity is tied to a tragedy he caused but cannot remember—one his psychologist mother made him forget.

As his health deteriorates alongside his crumbling marriage, Michael confronts who he’s been and who he could become. In a race against his failing body, Michael faces the ultimate question: what price is too high for redemption?
