Blood spatter expert Doctor Claudia O'Sheil's evidence put a killer behind bars - or so everyone thinks. Since the trial, Claudia has learned a horrific truth- her evidence and her testimony were wrong.

Now as she takes the stage to give a speech before London's elite specialists, Claudia has to choose- keep lying and leave the wronged killer behind bars or stand up, tell the truth and rip her life apart.

The truth can set you free. Or destroy your life.
