I am Calvin Delaney
Calvin Delaney has two vivid memories. His fourth birthday party when he was at his happiest and when he is taken away from his home and the mother he adores by a social worker and two police officers. Thrust into a house of strangers and subsequently moved to what he is told is his ‘forever family’, Calvin promises himself he will always be Calvin Delaney. When his mother achieves the unthinkable and tracks him down to his new adoptive family, his euphoria is short lived as his story becomes front page news.

When Jason Porter is born in 1976, a huge task falls on his tiny shoulders - to keep his errant father at home.

Fast-forward to 2022, his mother's body is found buried in the woods and suspicion immediately falls on Jason who is swiftly charged with her murder. It is psychologist Miranda who has the responsibility of getting under the skin of the enigmatic Jason to aid the jury in their deliberations.
