Psychologist David Joseph is drawn into a series of cases involving violence against women and offenders who appear to have escaped effective punishment. As anger at the failures of the justice system grows, rape survivors and their families form an underground alliance prepared to take matters into their own hands.

The investigation centres on whether the alliance is responsible only for retaliatory violence or whether another motive lies behind the pattern of events. David must separate grievance, organised vigilantism and individual criminal intent while the boundary between victim, avenger and offender becomes increasingly difficult to define.
