Charged with first-degree murder. she is sentenced to life imprisontment where she befriends her cellmate, a wealthy white woman named Veronica Scott (Miranda Richardson), from whom she learns English from. Her cell mate is so moved by her story that she asks her step-brother, Edward Foster (Robbie Coltrane), a highly respected queen's counsel to file her appeal. Her case comes to the notice of a group of south Asian social worker running a under funded organization called the "Southall Black Sisters". They bring her plight to the attention of the media by organizing rallies to gather public support for her freedom. She is ultimately freed by the judicial systen in a landmark case called "Regina vs. Ahluwali", that redefined the word PROVOCATION in the case of a battered woman. She was reunited with her children and was subsequently given an award by the Prime Minister's wife for her crusade against domestic violence.
