London 1826: Frannie Langton, a 20-year-old formerly enslaved young woman, is on trial for a brutal double murder.
After a clandestine affair with the mistress of the house, Frannie is found asleep in bed next to her dead lover, Marguerite Benham. Frannie awakes to blood all over her hands and little memory of the night before. Lady Benham’s husband has also been brutally murdered. Frannie is accused and will hang if she cannot – or will not – tell the truth about what happened. The English courts are in a frenzy as are the papers, and testimonies against her are damming – she is a seductress, a witch, a master manipulator. But Frannie has another story to tell and tell it she will.
