About
A self-made London defence barrister who defends men accused of sexual assault finds the legal system turning against her after a colleague's actions.
Tessa Ensler is a defence barrister who has risen from a working-class background to become confident and successful in London's courtrooms. Cynthia Erivo plays her. Self-made and at home in the city's ruthless legal system, Tessa defends men accused of sexual assault. Daniel Ings appears as Julian and Elizabeth Dulau as Alice Sommers. One night, the actions of a colleague from a powerful legal dynasty shake her confidence; she finds herself facing the same courtroom tactics she once used in defence. The system she trusted turns against her, leaving her exposed and disbelieved.
