Found guilty and condemned to hang in three week's time, Ruth initially
accepts her fate but becomes more desperate as her time draws near and her
lawyer puts pressure on the Home Office for a reprieve. As Ruth reflects on the
past few months, we learn that she had become pregnant with David's child.
Having lost everything she worked so hard for, with her relationship becoming
more violent, Ruth relies on Desmond to provide for her and her son. And as
we watch the crumbling of her past life, the pressures of the imminent future
and death take centre stage. Will reprieve be granted?
