Based on real life events in 1912 England, this exquisitely crafted film tells of Ronnie Winslow, a 13-year-old navel cadet expelled from the Academy for stealing a five-shilling postal note, and his father, London Banker Arthur Winslow's (Nigel Hawthorne) all-consuming attempt to prove his innocence. When Arthur enlists famed barrister Sir Robert Morton (Jeremy Northam), the case is taken to court where a mysterious and surprising chain of events are unravelled, turning the matter into a national obsession. As the strain on the Winslow family threatens its downfall, both emotionally and financially, the entire country stood transfixed for a verdict.
