Baby Reindeer meets Death of a Bookseller in this dark thriller set two decades after one of the most infamous murders in British history - the Vincent Street Incident. The woman who was imprisoned for the crime is approached by filmmakers who want to tell her side of the story for the first time...

They locked her up. Now, they want to hear her story.

At fifteen, Ruby Wilcox was involved in the Vincent Street Incident - one of the most horrific murders in British History. Despite protesting her innocence and claiming that someone else was responsible, she was convicted.

Two decades after being released, Ruby has done everything she can to move on and create a new life. But that all threatens to crumble once she learns that a streaming service is creating a series about the murders, and her alleged role in them.

When Ruby is given the opportunity to share her version of events, she knows that it's now or never. The only question is, has the world made up its mind about her, or will people believe her story?

The consequences of speaking out might cost her more than she thinks, because Ruby wasn't the only person on Vincent Street that night...
