He works for Clyde & McKinley LLP, a small American law firm that offers pro bono services to prisoners on death row.

On his first visit to the States, land of the free, home of the brave, he is accompanied by Jasmine, a medical doctor and human rights advocate and is strongly supported by attorneys from Claude & Butler LLP, which Christopher arranges. As they get closer to the truth, discovering information that reflects the innocence of their client and reveals a cover-up, high-profile officials are implicated, including a plutocrat, which brings danger to his family back in London. Discover the voyage, the many rivers and hazardous obstacles they need to cross in this epic story across two continents, encompassing commitment, friendship, teamwork, sacrifice, tenacity, determination, rectitude, and an immovable stance for human rights.
