Based on Sarah Vaughan's best-selling novel of the same name, it focuses on the scandals of Britain's privileged elite and the women involved. The original tells the story of an ambitious Westminster politician whose marriage broke up after being accused of rape. The wife believes her husband is innocent, while the prosecution lawyer also believes that he is guilty. Flanders, who plays James Whitehouse, is an ambitious, charismatic junior minister who has always shared his wife's luck. Miller plays his wife Sophie, an Oxford graduate with two children, whose seemingly perfect life is about to be detonated. Dockery plays Kate Woodcroft, the royal legal counsel who plays the criminal lawyer for offensive crimes, who has just taken on an once-in-a-century case in her field.
