When Dr Susie Harriot is convicted of the brutal murder of Andrew Gow, a serial killer in her care, it looks certain that she will be given a life sentence, depriving her of her home, family and two-year-old daughter. Susie's husband, Lachlan, is convinced his wife is innocent, and is determined to find evidence to support an appeal. Every night he sits in Susie's study and goes through her papers – her case notes, her interviews with Gow, and the press cuttings from the trial.

Klidný nedělní večer na předměstí Glasgow. Běží televize, v troubě se peče večeře. Klid naruší stará otlučená dodávka, která prorazí dveře jednoho ospalého domu. Vyřítí se z ní skupina ozbrojených mužů v kuklách. Zajmou rodinu a požadují výkupné milion liber. Útočníci jednoho člena rodiny unesou. Na místo je přivolána vyšetřovatelka Alex Morrowová. Ale kolem případu se objevuje spousta záhad. Kdo byli ti únosci? Proč si mysleli, že v normálním domě žije bohatá rodina? Rodina zarytě mlčí.
