Do you know what's within you? If it's deadly asbestos, you'd better have what it takes to fight for what's right.

James and Jenny Henderson came to Australia for a new life. They started a family and worked hard for a brighter future. They never expected to be fighting for their lives or for justice in a court case against two of Australia's largest companies.

Big-end lawyer Bruce Fraser hopes to springboard into partnership and fame with a win for his client, a leading asbestos-cement manufacturer. Plaintiff lawyer Viviana Glosioli must overcome her self-doubt, her boss's advances and the sausage-factory mentality of her firm if she's to secure a win for James and Jenny.

What unfolds is the ugly truth of asbestos and the legal industry it spawned. James and Jenny's story embodies the history of asbestos exploitation in Australia. Their legal battle has the potential to change the law forever. Money, careers, reputations, lives - everything is at stake. Where will the dust settle when all is said and done?
