It takes only one person to break the silence. When solicitor Finn Fitzpatrick is approached by a man to investigate the death of his daughter, her first instinct is to refuse. The father is grieving and unable to accept that his daughter committed suicide. And yet something about the man’s story chimes with Finn. Why did a bright, confident, beautiful young girl suddenly drop out of school, isolating herself from everyone who cared about her? Could it be that the father's suspicion is right and that his daughter was groomed and abused by the most famous film director in Ireland?

When an old university friend invites Finn Fitzpatrick to speak at a conference at her alma mater, Finn reluctantly agrees. Now working as a solicitor with a side interest in investigation, Finn is busy with her own troubles but feels she can't say no to her former law school classmate. Even though she has no idea why she's been invited to the conference, or to the exclusive dinner in the College President's private dining room afterwards. Then, three days later, a body is discovered in the College grounds, and everyone who was at the President's dinner is a murder suspect. Including Finn.

Finn Fitzpatrick barely knows Mandy Breslin from the law firm where they both work. Mandy moves in the privileged world of the senior partners. Finn keeps to herself. But Mandy has secrets, and as Finn gets drawn deeper and deeper into her dead colleague's life, she finds out that Mandy isn't such a stranger after all. And that Mandy's not the only one at the firm with something to hide.
