As he builds his career, he forms an unlikely friendship with Laxman, an Indian student yearning for his country's freedom and the brilliant but dour barrister David Maxwell Fyfe. His world collides with Celia, a nurse bearing the scars of war. Together their relationship must endure the chaos of World War II and the Nuremberg trials. However, when Basil is asked to advise on the detainment and torture of the Kikuyu tribe in Kenya, he's forced to question everything he believed about justice and empire. As dark secrets about his family's involvement in Kenya's brutal colonial history surface, Basil faces an impossible choice. Will he risk his reputation, his relationships, and his future to expose the truth?
