A prosecutor working for the Hague who is named Hannah Maynard (Kerry Fox) goes to extreme lengths to convict Yugoslavian General Goran Duric (Drazen Kuhn), a Serbian, of heinous war crimes, including being responsible for a mass rape of Muslim Bosnian women. When it appears Duric may get off on a technicality when a key witness commits suicide, Maynard goes to Bosnia and locates a witness named Mira Arendt (Anamaria Marinca) who could be the legitimate force to give Maynard the conviction she has become obsessed with winning. Mira may be more fragile and face all kinds of trauma and damage if she proceeds, but prosecutor Maynard will not be circumvented.
