A tense, procedurally-driven thriller about institutional corruption and personal reckoning, built on the collision between two detectives with opposing stakes in uncovering the truth.

In the heart of London, an anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives—a young woman in the early stages of her career and a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy—into a fight to correct an old miscarriage of justice.
