   Summary

   After three years in a labour camp, Kelas Parmak is released, but he is not free. He is remanded into the custody of his sister, and the incarceration has left him scarred. Still his belief that the Cardassian state needs to be overthrown is as strong as it was before he was apprehended. As he tries to recuperate, his views threatens to disrupt his family's lives, and his very presence changes how others see that which once was beyond reproach.
