Third season of the legal thriller series centred on 12 ordinary Australians who are selected for jury duty in a murder trial as traumatising as it is controversial. Things get personal for Brett Colby (Sam Neill) after he is thrust into a murder trial to defend the husband of a life-long friend accused of a heinous murder. As the trial unravels a deeper mystery, a 1968 cold case murder of two teens is re-opened, and the twelve jurors sworn in for the trial find their own lives changed by the experience.

Serving as the jury are Ewen Leslie (Top of the Lake China Girl), Phoenix Raei (The Night Agent), Hanah Tayeb (Miles From Nowhere), Nathalie Morris (Bump), Catherine Moore (How to Please a Woman), Bolude Watson (Hearts and Bones), Bessie Holland (Wentworth), Stuart Daulman (Utopia), Paul Tassone (Poker Face), Charles Napoleon An (Narrow Road to the Deep North), Libby Stone (The Claremont Murders) and newcomer Claire Leach.
