Arthur Smith is a young man haunted by the title of "coward," a label that has consumed his life since the fateful day he chose survival over duty. In a town where societal expectations weigh heavily on every soul, Arthur is left to carry the shame of being branded less than a man, a label his community will never allow him to forget. When tragedy strikes, and Arthur is forced into a path he cannot escape, he is thrust into a journey of self-discovery, guilt, and an unforgiving confrontation with the past.

Set against a backdrop of oppressive social norms, His Undoing explores themes of shame, courage, and the human cost of decisions made in the heat of fear. As Arthur struggles with the legacy of his choices, he finds himself caught between the harsh judgments of his peers and the storm of his own conscience. The stormy skies reflect his internal turmoil as he faces the truth of his actions, all while trying to navigate the weight of a cruel world that sees only weakness where he sees a fragile attempt to survive.

In a tale of love, loss, and redemption, Arthur's journey will challenge readers to question the expectations placed on individuals and the brutal consequences of living under the shadow of shame. Will Arthur find the courage to face his undoing, or will he remain trapped by the chains of his past?
