Set in Britain in 2035, the single drama follows Dione and David Sinclair, a couple who are thrust into a harrowing legal battle after their teenage daughter, Teah, commits a grave crime. Under a radical new law, Milligan’s Law, the parents are held criminally responsible for the actions of their children – and Dione and David could face life behind bars if found guilty.
