A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K.,an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit,a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested,he is released,but must report to court on a regular basis-an event that proves maddening,as nothing is ever resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate,his personal life-including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door-becomes increasingly unpredictable. As K. tries to gain control,he succeeds only in accelerating his own excruciating downward spiral.
