They will decide on the guilt or innocence of the respected headmistress Frida Palmers (46), who stands accused for the murder on her best friend and her little daughter. The trial is not only decisive for Frida’s fate. The lives of the jury members also take new turns because of the sensational murder case. As time goes by, the murder trial becomes a trial not only for the accused but for the jury members themselves.
