As a barrister she has forged a career in defending men charged with sexual offences and violence against women. As a wife she increasingly finds herself the victim of the crimes she works so hard to defend.
As her experiences merge, she seeks help from a psychotherapist to help her interpret her own violent dreams. He gently helps her to come to terms with what she has become. Her conflicts come to a head when she is asked to defend a man charged with the brutal rape and wounding of his wife. Having secured his acquittal, she realises that she has been under the control of both her husband and her client.
As the obfuscation lifts, she chooses an act that will liberate her from her own delusions and ultimately lead her to a new life.
