His attempts to exonerate himself fail and he gets his due, a seven-year jail term.
Upon release, with no family to cushion him, drinking becomes a hobby and sleeping in trenches. His life changes when one day, he rescues a child from the gutter, for keeps. Read on to find out, who is the mother of this child? How does the child change Kahiu?s life?
