Introducing Lee Mitchell, a young barrister from a working-class Caribbean background; in the cut-throat environment of the courtroom, everything is stacked against her.

On her doorstep in South London the 15-year-old son of the pastor at the local Black church is shot, and the local community is shattered. All evidence is pointing to notoriously corrupt, racist police officer Sergeant Jack Lambert as the suspect. Even his own boss is certain he is guilty.

With the line between her personal and professional life becoming increasingly blurred, Lee keeps asking herself the same question:
