Barrister Trish Maguire needs all the time she can find to help her young half-brother adjust to life after the violent death of his mother. Sir Henry Buxford, an influential acquaintance, has other ideas.

She soon discovers a web of deceit that has spanned the decades since, catching all kinds of people in its filaments.
