The trial is focused on Talitha Campbell, the estranged daughter of a wealthy property developer. Talitha is charged with conspiring to murder a fellow university student named Hannah Ellis, and her trial places her own family and Hannah s at the eye of a media storm.
Duty solicitor Cleo Roberts is also drawn into the furore, having been on duty during the night of Talitha s arrest. Talitha rejects her father s help and instead wants Cleo to lead her defence, with the prosecution planning to weaponise Talitha s gender and her social privilege against her.
But what is Talitha really – Damaged scapegoat? Or cold-blooded killer?
