Secretary Karen Andre is accused of the murder of her employer, business executive Bjorn Faulkner. The play's events occur entirely in a courtroom. Twelve members of the audience serve as the jury as the prosecutor's case is played out on stage. At the end of the trial, the jury is sequestered off-stage to vote as key scenes are replayed by the actors. The judge then agrees or disagrees, depending on their verdict.
