Nottingham, 1997. Sarah Bone is a Labour politician with a hidden radical past, about to face the election battle of her life. She also has a radical ex-boyfriend Nick Cane, just released from prison for growing and selling cannabis.

They're brought together again when Sarah campaigns successfully for the release of Ed Clarke, a wrongfully imprisoned 'murderer', only to be sexually assaulted on the night she celebrates his release with him. Is she responsible for a terrible injustice? Nick's life is strangely bound up with Ed Clarke's: inmates in the same prison and now working illegally for the same mini-cab firm. Will the old chemistry spark as Nick and Sarah work together to expose Ed Clarke's guilt? As the election of a generation heats up, Bone and Cane's convictions are tested to the limit.
