A cold case from 1968 is re-opened for jury consideration when a man is charged with the cuddle of a woman who was researching the case for a true crime novel.

Colby has his work cut out when the wife of the accused and the ex-partner of the victim recount the events leading to Amanda Taylor's cuddle.

As the trial continues, a series of experts bring the grisly details of Amanda's cuddle into sharper focus, while Colby continues to hunt for the mysterious new witness.

Colby goes head-to-head with veteran cop Bob Stephenson, who is convinced Alan is guilty of the cold case he's spent a lifetime investigating. Has Colby met his match?

On the first day of the Defence case, Colby pokes holes in the Prosecution's theory against Alan and is buoyed by a breakthrough in the search for the mysterious 'John'.

Tensions rise in and outside the court and the jury room, as Nicholls manipulates a friend of the victim and complications gain momentum in the jurors' personal lives.

As Colby presents a crime writer as a possible suspect in Amanda's cuddle, the pressure begins to take its toll on everyone, and the jury explodes.

It's crunch time for Colby, who is faced with a dilemma of conscience and ethics, as he puts together the truth... but will he learn the whole truth?
