London, 1900. Hester Stanmore watches in disbelief as the court declares her attacker 'not guilty', and the room erupts into chaos. The man in the dock is being congratulated as if he were a hero, but she has seen the madness in his eyes when he had attacked her. In a rage he had beaten her senseless and left her for dead. It was only her strength that allowed her to survive.

Hester was determined to bring him to justice, but what would happen now? As she endeavours to pick up the pieces of her life, Hester meets Daniel Hansen, and perhaps she will find the happy ending she justly deserves .
