Tessa Ensler Loves Her Job. She's Worked Her Way up from a Working-class Background to Being a Top Criminal Defence Barrister at the Top of Her Game - Prosecuting, Cross-examining and Winning in the Courtroom with Her Quick Wit and Intelligence. Fighting to Defend Those Pleading Not Guilty - Including Securing Freedom for Men Accused of Rape and Sexual Assault. Innocent Until Proven Guilty Is, After All, the Bedrock of Human Rights.
An Unexpected Event However Forces Tessa to Confront the Very System She Has Spent Her Life Believing and Working Within - a System Where the Lines of Patriarchal Power and Burden of Proof Are Not Set up to Accommodate the Lived Experience of Sexual Assault Survivors.
