Eminent High Court judge Fiona Maye (Emma Thompson) is grappling with a crumbling marriage when she is assigned a high-stakes medical case. A 17-year-old boy named Adam (Fionn Whitehead) is refusing a life-saving blood transfusion on religious grounds as a Jehovah’s Witness. To better understand his perspective before ruling, Fiona makes the unorthodox decision to visit Adam in the hospital. The meeting sparks a profound emotional connection that challenges Fiona's clinical detachment and leaves a lasting impact on both their lives as she weighs the legal "Children Act" against personal freedom.
