Fleeing her public relations job at a high-profile law firm, 28-year-old Phoebe Rook is looking for meaning in her life. When she secures a job at a free legal service that helps people escaping domestic violence, she thinks she might have found it. Tasked with securing the centre’s vulnerable funding she quickly becomes entangled in the complicated legal and personal dramas of the lawyers and their clients. But you can't escape your past forever... People discover there is an investigation into misconduct at the firm she used to work at, and the journalists start circling.
When Phoebe witnesses a violent murder, she is thrown right into the dark heart of the problem she is trying to help solve and discovers that there are only two types of people in this world – those that think domestic violence would never happen to them, and those that know it can happen to anyone.
