The Story That Keeps You on the Edge of Your Seat
Emma Banville (played brilliantly by the late Helen McCrory) is a fearless human rights lawyer known for taking on impossible cases. She agrees to defend Kevin Russell — a man who has spent 14 years in prison for the brutal murder of a young schoolgirl.
But the deeper Emma digs into the case, the more dangerous it becomes. What starts as a fight for justice quickly spirals into a deadly conspiracy involving government corruption, national security secrets, and powerful people who will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.
