When defence barrister Geoffrey Mason hears the judge's guilty verdict, he quietly hopes that a long and arduous custodial sentence will be handed down to his arrogant young client. Little does Mason expect that he'll be seeing Trent again much sooner than he'd ever imagined. That Julian Trent only receives eight years seems all too lenient.
An amateur jockey, his true passion is to be found in the saddle, on a thoroughbred, pounding the turf. Setting aside his barrister's wig, Mason heads to Sandown to don his racing silks. But when a fellow rider is brutally murdered - a pitchfork driven through his chest - the prime suspect is champion jockey Steve Mitchell and the evidence is overwhelming.
Mason, reluctant to heed Mitchell's pleas for legal advice, soon finds himself at the centre of a sinister web of threat and intimidation and is left fighting a battle of right and wrong, and more immediately, a battle of life and death...his own.
