ONE MARRIAGE. ONE LIE. TWO SIDES TO THE STORY…
FRANK is standing trial for violently murdering his wife, Linda. His defence? She killed herself.
HARRY is Frank’s defence lawyer. Whether he believes Frank or not, it’s the biggest case of his career and he has to prove he can win.
PIERA is Harry’s wife. She’s hiding a secret that could destroy the case, and her life with Harry entirely.
What do you do when the biggest threat to your marriage is the truth?

The story didn't demand too much concentration, and I'd recommend for a journey or while doing a mundane chore.
