Ben Daly blew the whistle on the head of the law firm where he got his first job. With the help of a false witness his former boss was found not guilty. Some unkind media coverage represented Ben as the real culprit.
In the aftermath Ben developed a rare mental illness which shattered his plans to marry and left him with such a profound sense of shame that he avoided all contact with other people.
After a woman is brutally murdered a new witness comes forward who can prove Ben was telling the truth. With the help of his fiancée, Ben must seek justice in the place he fears the most, a place where a public audience and the media will watch him be examined, cross-examined and re-examined.
