Haunted by the trauma of surviving the Rwandan genocide as a child, Kate Ashby has always battled the echoes of her past. Raised in Britain by her adoptive mother, Eve—a formidable international lawyer—Kate is now forging her own path, working as a legal investigator within the same prestigious chambers led by renowned attorney Michael Ennis. But the complex bond between mother and daughter faces its toughest test yet when a controversial figure emerges: a militia leader who once fought against the genocide itself is apprehended in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Eve’s decision to prosecute him at the International Criminal Court threatens to shatter their already fragile relationship, forcing Kate to confront both her family's legacy and the enduring weight of history.
