In 2010, the quiet Yorkshire village of Melsonby was shocked when postmistress Diana Garbutt was found murdered in the flat above the post office she ran with her husband, Robin. Suspicion quickly fell on Robin, who was convicted the following year despite maintaining his innocence. This investigative documentary revisits the case in light of the Horizon system controversy—the technology at the center of the Post Office Scandal—raising the possibility that Robin’s conviction may have been flawed. Through interviews, archival footage, and expert analysis, the film examines a story of crime, technology, and potential miscarriage of justice.
