'After the death of her husband, financial cirumstances force Libby Hargraves to return to work, where she finds that Jack Trennery, the articled clerk she had befriended eight years ago, is now the Melbourne law firm's leading criminal lawyer. But when Jack asks Libby to marry him, she refuses, for he is nine years her junior. But lawyers have a way of getting to the truth, and when Jack is taken hostage Libby has to admit to her true feelings.'
