'Man Who Found the Truth' Summary
The Man Who Found the Truth follows the story of an old man, confined to prison for decades, accused of murdering his family. With an unwavering conviction that he is innocent, he recounts his life and the events leading up to the tragedy. However, his narrative is shrouded in a fog of doubt.
