The Defence Strategy

One cold night on a dark country road, Tom Reynolds' life changes forever. Involved in a shocking car accident, he wakes up in hospital under police guard charged with his wife's murder. James Royston, a city corporate lawyer recently moved to the country after a failed marriage is hired to defend him. Royston doesn't know much about criminal law but is determined to defend Reynolds, who he suspects may be innocent. As time goes by, Royston and the motley crew of ex-cons that constitute his defence team begin to unravel the shocking truth that lurks beneath Tom Reynolds' imprisonment as Reynolds rots in gaol forced to fight off hardened criminals and a corrupt system in gaol at every turn, his only friends his cellmate and a rogue prison guard. Can Royston and his team, including a wise city mentor, come up with a legal defence strategy that will somehow save Reynolds' life as the prosecution and the prison administration keep raising the stakes against him? And will justice be served? Only time will tell.
