A morally complex legal thriller about prosecuting war crimes, where institutional justice collides with witness unreliability and the messy realities of post-conflict investigation.

Hannah Maynard, a prosecutor of Hague's Tribunal for war crimes in former Yugoslavia, charges a Serbian commander for killing Bosniaks. However, her main witness might be lying, so the court sends a team to Bosnia to investigate.
