- Synopsis:
When Ann Ming's 22-year-old daughter, Julie, goes missing from her home in Billingham in 1989, Ann (Sheridan Smith) pleads with the apparently unconcerned police to help her. Eventually launching an investigation, the police fail to find Julie. Three months later, it is Ann herself who discovers what has happened to her. When a violent local man is charged with murder, a series of blunders sees him walk free. Safe in the knowledge that the double jeopardy law protects him from being tried again for the same crime, the man openly and publicly brags about having murdered Julie. Incensed, Ann channels her grief into action, and begins a 17-year campaign to overturn this archaic law, in a courageous and tenacious fight that takes her all the way to the House of Lords, all in the name of justice for her daughter. - Actors:
