Top criminal barristers Sasha Wass and Jeremy Dein reinvestigate the notorious case of Devlin and Burns, two thieves sentenced to death for murder.

When Beatrice Rimmer was found dead in her Liverpool home in 1951, the police arrested prolific petty criminals Edward Devlin and Alfred Burns, who were known for a series of robberies around their native Manchester. But could this pair of petty burglars really have been responsible for a murder?

Lindsay, a relative of Edward Devlin, has flown over 10,000 miles from Australia to team up with Jeremy and Sasha to examine the case in more detail.

Going back over the documents, they find that during the trial the prosecution alleged that the motive for the murder was robbery, but nothing was actually taken from Beatrice's home. With the motive in doubt, questions about the murder weapon and the evidence of key witnesses raises concerns for the barristers. But after a tense confrontation between Sasha and Lindsay, will they be able to get to the bottom of this notorious case and reveal the truth? And will the barristers decide to present evidence to a crown court judge?
