Four teenage boys invent a sex game based on the toss of a dice.The police charge them with multiple sexual offences against three teenage girls. Twelve jurors must work out what actually happened.

How will twelve women and men of different ages, backgrounds and beliefs decide whether consent was given or crimes were committed? In this dazzlingly accomplished and gripping debut novel, the story is told through the eyes of each juror as the trial unfolds and evidence is presented, withheld, fragmented and retold by different witnesses. Will the verdict deliver justice or punish the innocent? Where does the truth lie?
