'"Duel, n: a contest with deadly weapons arranged between two people in order to settle a point of honor."
'Zosima is a young man who lives a life of debauchery where nothing is out of bounds. The night before a deadly duel, he wakes with an overwhelming sense of guilt and insight. This will be the event that transforms his life and leads him from the military to a monastery.
'In 1880 Dostoevsky wrote his final novel - The Brothers Karamazov. The Duel forensically examines a single chapter from The Brothers Karamazov, digging deep into Zosima's journey and the mysterious visitor who challenges him with a dark secret.'
