This is the Seven Deadly Cardinals - seven stories of seven different people, how they embody the heavenly cardinal in its goodness and then how they are dragged to become the opposite sin.

Not all is set in stone. The stories include a lady that falls for a serial killer, an actor and tailor, the flower shop owner and orphanage, a priest and gangster mob, an office worker and a stalker, landlords son and new tenant, youth centre worker and how things did not go as it should.
