A few brief words are exchanged -- in which the Filipino makes a passionate plea for help -- before a mysterious man arrives and abruptly arranges for her to be discharged. Those few words are enough to draw the unsuspecting American into a life-threatening confrontation with an international criminal gang. The Filipino, it turns out, is one of thousands of women from poor countries who are tempted to leave their homes by the promise of a legitimate job -- and are then held captive for sexual exploitation. The American and the Filipino eventually join forces as part of a clandestine movement to set up an international tribunal that aims to seek retribution for these crimes against humanity. Inspired by a true story and based on extensive research, Tribunal is a fictionalised thriller that explores the very real social, economic and political questions surrounding today's global trade in sex slaves.
