A trial for child murder and a heroine who stops at nothing to undo the damage her virtue has done. Starring Joanne Cummins.
"She wouldn’t lie in court to save her sister’s life - so she had to find another way." Mike Harris’ fast paced adaptation of Walter Scott’s most gripping, most contemporary novel.
