Ad affidarsi con un po' di sorpresa e di iniziale scetticismo alle cure feline saranno un impiegato stufo delle sopraffazioni, un uomo che si sente sempre fuori posto, una ragazzina immalinconita dal rapporto conflittuale con la madre, una stilista di borse alla ricerca di un nuovo equilibrio emotivo e un'apprendista geisha oppressa dal senso di colpa.

Crime and Punishment follows Raskolnikov, a brilliant but impoverished student in St. Petersburg who believes he can commit the perfect crime in the name of a greater good.

Raskolnikov, trapped in the poverty-stricken streets of St. Petersburg and drowning in his own feverish theories, commits a desperate act that shatters every illusion he ever held about power, conscience, and destiny. In the days that follow, he discovers that the courts do not deal out the real punishment, but by the silent terror of his own soul.
