Vindication

At 17 years old, Jamie Lindsey has a bright future. Hardworking, respectful and determined, he looks set on getting the grades he needs to achieve his dream of studying medicine. But all that changes when he finds himself the victim of a shockingly spiteful false rape allegation, by a beautiful yet deeply damaged girl from his quiet Scottish town. Now, publicly accused by the press and scorned by his own peers, not only his medical career but his whole future seem to be in tatters. Jamie needs to get away. So, while fighting to clear his name, he heads off on tour with his parents' acting company. And there he discovers a new passion - one which he had always scorned: a love of theatre; of the stage; the thrill of performing. It is electrifying and irresistible. And Jamie has a gift - a remarkable talent he never imagined possible. So begins a new journey for the newly determined Jamie, and a new community of intriguing characters both on and off the stage. It is an adventure which makes him question all his former plans, aspirations and everything he always thought he wanted in life. For, while his accuser is herself on a slippery slope to self-destruction, Jamie finds a very different trajectory; his life is only just beginning.
