Tessa is a young and brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working-class origins to the top of her game, specializing in defending men accused of sexual assault. She fiercely believes in the fairness of the legal system that gives the accused the benefit of the doubt. But an unexpected event shakes her faith to the core and forces her to confront the patriarchal power of the law. What unfolds is a powerful and deeply personal reckoning with justice and the gaps between truth and the rules of the courtroom game.
