Based on the novel of the same name by Sarah Vaughan, the series follows Sophie Whitehouse (Sienna) and her husband James (Rupert Friend), a minister accused of sexually assaulting a young political aide named Olivia (Naomi).
The six-part series focuses on the trial and his attempts to prove his innocence as Sophie struggles to consider her husband might not be the man she thought he was.

As the media descends on the couple’s life, Sophie is seen putting blame on herself, saying: ‘Sometimes I think I’m partly to blame. I let things slide. Making things right is all I care about.’
