Description

Fiona Maye, a distinguished High Court judge, finds her professional acumen tested by a deeply personal crisis as her marriage falters. Simultaneously, she must confront a life-or-death case involving a devout seventeen-year-old boy refusing life-saving treatment on religious grounds. As Fiona grapples with the complex intersection of faith, law, and individual autonomy, her investigation leads to a profound and unexpected encounter. This encounter forces her to confront her own buried emotions and ultimately shapes the destinies of both herself and the young man.
