Synopsis:

Will Burton is a talented junior barrister of peerless intellect and winning charm who specializes in spiriting people out of tight legal corners. But when his talents acquit the notorious prime suspect in an horrific murder trial, that brilliance comes back to bite him with unexpected and chilling results, not to mention a shocking twist in the tale.

Season 1
Part 1 S1, Ep1 29 Oct. 2013
Will Burton is a junior barrister known as the Escape Artist for his skill at having his clients' cases discharged in court and Richard Mayfield, head of Will's chambers, wants him to go for seniority. Will is happily married to Kate with a son Jamie and an enviable life-style. His latest client, young Liam Foyle, is accused of torturing and killing Sandra Mullins but Will manages to get the jury to acquit him via a loop-hole, though he will not shake hands with Foyle. Later Will learns that Foyle has lodged a complaint against him and, whilst Will is at a reunion ...

Part 2 S1, Ep2 5 Nov. 2013
Maggie defends Foyle on the charge of killing Kate and, although she finds him a weird, unsettling young man, gets him bail. He immediately shadows Will's nine-year old son. Foyle gives Eileen Morris, a fellow cage bird breeder, as his alibi and, other than Will's statement, no forensics link him to the crime. Though barred from participating in the case Will does his own sleuthing, helped by colleagues Danny and Trevor, and links Eileen to the Sandra Mullins murder. He tries to tell Maggie he now knows Foyle was guilty then but she has a case to win to gain promotion...

Part 3 S1, Ep3 12 Nov. 2013
Maggie successfully defends Foyle, who is acquitted of Kate's murder but Will warns her to be wary of her unsettling client. Feeling let down locally Will travels to the Scottish border in search of another post and runs into Foyle, who would appear to have followed him. There is a fight and a fire breaks out, Will calling the ambulance and Foyle taken to hospital. However there is to be another trial before Will's nightmare comes to an end.

Revolves around Will Burton, a talented junior barrister of peerless intellect and winning charm who specialises in spiriting people out of tight legal corners. He is in high demand as he has never lost a case. But when his talents acquit the notorious prime suspect in an horrific murder trial, that brilliance comes back to bite him with unexpected and chilling results, not to mention a shocking twist in the tale.
