Plot
Marina Arkwright is accused of poisoning her young son and is brought to trial. After her husband's death, Marina turned the boy over to his grandparents in return for a financial settlement. When the grandfather died and the boy was due to come into a sizable inheritance, Marina returned to her child. Three of the jurors selected for the trial bring their own prejudices to the case.[1]
