Set in 1910, and inspired by a true story, this is a tale of pride, justice and truth. Young Ronnie Winslow is expelled from his military school for stealing - but tells his father Arthur that he didn’t do it. To prove a point, Arthur pursues the case through the courts, adamant that Ronnie is innocent. Proceedings drag on and on, disrupting the lives of the entire family - particularly daughter Catherine, whose romantic life grows very complicated. As the fight takes over their lives, the family begins to wonder if justice is worth the price they must pay.
