โฆ Synopsis
When Breakfast TV host and nationโs darling, Rosie Harper, is found brutally murdered at home, suspicion falls on her spouse, formerly international football star, Danny โwalks on waterโ Mallard, now living out of the public eye as trans woman, Debbie. Not only must Debbie challenge the hard evidence against her, including her blood-drenched glove at the scene of the crime, she must also contend with the nationโs prejudices, as the trial is broadcast live, turning it into a public spectacle. For someone trying to live their life without judgment, it might just be too much to bear.
Legal duo Judith Burton and Constance Lamb are subjected to unyielding scrutiny as they strive to defend their most famous client yet.
