Ben's legal team strike a deal with the prosecution which seems the best of all possible deals - but Ben will have to lie about the events of the fatal night. He seeks the advice of his junior counsel, Frances, on whether to take that morally dubious step.

When he makes a deadly enemy in jail, Ben struggles to find a way to simply survive.

Ben takes the stand and the formidable prosecution barrister starts to take his good character apart. It is left to Stone and Frances to find some shred of evidence to show that their client could not have committed the murder.
