Fiona Maye is a respected High Court judge, renowned for her exactitude and
calm professionalism. But when her husband of thirty years standing shocks
her with an unreasonable request, she finds her life in crisis. At precisely
the same time, she is ordered to try a new case. It is an urgent matter of life
and death, bringing science and religion into direct conflict and at its
centre is a beautiful adolescent boy with the whole of his life ahead of him.
Exactly the kind of case where a small error of judgement might have grave
and lasting consequences.
