Sadie has moved back to London so her daughter can attend the exclusive school her domineering father has secured her a place at. It's highly sought-after and highly competitive - just like the other mothers, Sadie soon discovers. While she's trying to get her daughter settled and navigate the fraught politics of the school gate, Sadie is also trying to reclaim a position in her old legal chambers - she used to practice as a criminal barrister. She's given the junior brief on a scandalous case involving a male teacher and his student.

Alison has it all. A doting husband, adorable daughter, and a career on the rise - she's just been given her first murder case to defend. But all is never as it seems. Just one more night. Then I'll end it. Alison drinks too much. She's neglecting her family. And she's having an affair with a colleague whose taste for pushing boundaries may be more than she can handle.

Alison ha tutto ciò che si può desiderare: un marito amorevole, una figlia adorabile e una carriera legale sulla rampa di lancio: le è stato appena affidato il suo primo caso di omicidio. La cliente che difenderà in giudizio non nega di avere pugnalato il marito e pare decisa a dichiararsi colpevole. Eppure c'è qualcosa di profondamente sbagliato nella storia che racconta. Ma anche nella vita di Alison non tutto è come sembra… Alison beve troppo e sta trascurando la sua famiglia.

Jag vet att det jag gör är fel. Men jag kan inte sluta. Alison har allt. En kärleksfull man, en ljuvlig dotter och framgång i karriären - hon har just för första gången fått i uppgift att försvara en mordåtalad klient. Men ingenting är någonsin som det verkar... Alison dricker för mycket. Och hon har en relation med en kollega vars böjelse för att utmana gränser kanske är mer än hon klarar av. Alisons klient nekar inte till att hon har stuckit ihjäl sin man - hon vill erkänna mordet. Ändå är det något med kvinnans berättelse som absolut inte stämmer.
