Back in the time when the definition "special victims unit" had not leaped from courtroom papers to the silver screen, an enterprising group of TV producers in Italy came up with the idea of dramatizing some of the intriguing cases that the renowned attorney and politician Tina Lagostena Bassi, a champion of abused women's rights in the male-dominated Italian courtrooms wrote about in her books. The result is a gripping six episodes mini-series where a combative woman lawyer fights her good fight on behalf of women and children victims of abuses, trying to juggle her work and her personal life, fighting back her feelings for a charming prosecutor and trying to forget the ghosts haunting her from her childhood.
