Description Tessa is a brilliant and confident criminal defense barrister who thrives in the courtroom. This is shattered when an unexpected event forces her onto the other side of the witness stand where she has to confront the patriarchal power of the law.

Now navigating the system she once championed, Tessa experiences its systemic failings firsthand. The courtroom, where she once wielded power, becomes a site of her tragic disempowerment.
