Drama zasazené do Old Bailey v georgiánském Londýně do prostředí korupce a sociální nespravedlnosti na motivy skutečných právnických případů z konce 18. století. Každá epizoda začíná analýzou kauzy na základě dobových záznamů z archivů v Old Bailey, od znásilnění a vraždy až po velezradu a úplatkářství, a sleduje Williama Garrowa a jeho společníka Johna Southouse při snaze odhalit pravdu či bojovat za spravedlnost. V době, kdy obhájce figuroval v menšině případů, hájil mladý Garrow slabší a zavedl nekompromisní křížový výslech svědků obžaloby, čímž položil základy dnešního moderního právního systému.
