Lauren is a successful criminal barrister. She likes to work, play and shop hard. When she lands the brief of a lifetime, the prosecution of a premiership footballer accused of murdering his wife, she knows that she’ll have to pull out all the stops to prove that she’s up to the challenge.

But the trial brings challenges that Lauren never saw coming. Her best friend and colleague, Serena, has forsaken planning her own wedding to get far too cosy with the opposition and wildly jealous of Lauren’s role, is being anything but a friend.

Just when things are looking up, the unthinkable happens when Lauren is arrested for a crime she did not commit. Abandoned by those closest to her, stripped of her career, her world spirals out of control. With no way left to go but up, Lauren is forced to challenge the most basic of legal principles: is anyone really innocent until proven guilty?
