A rift at Shoe Lane causes prosecution to be pitted against defence, with Billy Lamb and his deputy John Bright vying for control of the clerks' room. Junior barrister Amy Lang risks becoming a pawn in their game as John makes promises that he can't keep.

As Head Clerk Billy Lamb (Neil Stuke) would have it known, the Clerks' Room is the epicentre of everything that happens in a successful set of chambers like Shoe Lane. Barristers' clerks act as their agents; they get the cases, distribute the work, and can make or break careers. To some, they're a gang of wide-boys with an inflated sense of their own importance. To others, they're an essential pillar that dates back to the beginnings of the Inns of Court.

The dramas feature the same core cast and characters from the TV show's Clerks' Room: Neil Stuke, Theo Barklem-Biggs, Amy Wren, John Macmillan.

The television show Silk is created by Peter Moffat.
