Aled Jones travels to County Tyrone in Northern Ireland to meet a father and daughter who suffered heartbreaking loss in the Omagh bombing. On 15th August 1998, Aiden Gallagher, a loving son and brother was tragically killed when the Real IRA detonated the blast on Market Street in the centre of the town. Aled takes father Michael and sister Cat Gallagher back to the fateful day, retracing the steps of the family. They return to the family business, a garage, which Michael used to run with Aiden. Cat has not been back since he died, and finds the visit very emotional, especially as hanging inside is the coat Aiden used to wear, kept by the new owners of the business in memory of the young man.

The family continue their journey, returning to the site of the blast and to the library where letters and tributes sent from all over the world have been treasured by the community. Remembering Aiden and revisiting the day has spurred Michael and Cat to want to help someone affected by a more recent tragedy. We introduce them to Millie Twells, a 17-year-old student living in Ilkeston in Derbyshire. She tells Cat and Michael how she survived a terror attack on a beach resort in Sousse in Tunisia two years ago. Millie now suffers severe post-traumatic stress and survivor's guilt. Cat and Michael understand exactly what she is going through. Unbeknownst to Millie, who thinks she is just recording an interview about her experience in Tunisia, the Gallaghers are wondering if they can help her.
