    The Sentence

    In a painful and more realistic case, Rudy Valdez appears after his 15-year-old sister was charged with conspiracy to commit numerous crimes committed by her ex-boyfriend. It seems to Roddy that it will be difficult to deal with the tragedy by recounting his sister's daily details and the family's moments. The whole family is fighting for Cindy to release her.
