Chester, England. Nach einem traumatischen Erlebnis hat Clara Pascal sich geschworen, nie wieder eine Strafverteidigung zu übernehmen: Zu oft verwischt die Grenze zwischen Schuld und Unschuld vor Gericht, zu oft muss sich Clara fragen, ob sie als Anwältin wirklich zum Guten beiträgt. Doch die Ruhe der Kleinstadt wird erschüttert, als ein Mann, der schon einmal verurteilt wurde, nun unter Verdacht steht, erneut einen Mord begangen zu haben.

Es scheint ein Morgen wie jeder andere: Clara verabschiedet ihre kleine Tochter am Schultor, macht sich auf den Weg in die Kanzlei–und dann weiß sie nur noch, dass sie in einen Wagen gezerrt und betäubt wird. Als Clara aufwacht, ist sie gefesselt, umgeben von der Dunkelheit eines Kellerverlieses. An den Wänden die Fotos von missbrauchten und ermordeten Mädchen. Und da ist ER: Ihr unbekannter Peiniger, der sich stumm an ihrer Angst weidet. Jede Minute gerinnt zu einer grauenhaften Ewigkeit, während Clara versucht, ihren Entführer zum Reden zu bringen.
