Grace Marks is a murderess. She is an ex-servant girl; in prison for taking part at the age of 16 in a murder of her employer and his mistress. Her alleged partner in crime was hanged for his deeds but as opinions about her were widely divided she was spared the gallows and sentenced to life imprisonment. The next 30 years of Grace's life are spent in jails and asylums. When we meet her, Grace claims to have no memory of the murders. Dr Simon Jordan, a practitioner of just-being-born clinical psychology is employed to prove her innocence by people who are trying to grant Grace a pardon.
