Joseph Harman, a first-year medical student at the local university, is reeling after a night out. He and Agnes Squires, a girl he met in a nightclub, slept together the first night they met. The next day, however, Joseph is accused of rape. Obviously, he denies it. Agnes was an enthusiastic participant, after all. In any case, Joseph is a good boy from a good family. Why would he do something so stupid? Why would he risk the indignity and trauma of standing up in court? And jeopardise his dreams of becoming a doctor?
