The act of human beings committing violence against each other is as old as the species itself. Within the modern context of society, our savage nature is rejected and policed at all times. Human savagery is crime, but what effect does this have on a particularly guilty individual? How does a man feel once he returns from years of violence to the house, bed, and wife he had before? Guilt is an exploration into the mind of a creature trained for violence, but reluctant to come to grips with the memories of someone who’s life he took away.
