Episode 1: The Train

A stormy night in Portrush. A young boy trapped on railway tracks in front of an oncoming train. His father knows something’s wrong and runs frantically to try and save him.

Heavy winds and rain batter the seaside town of Portrush in January 2009. A fourteen-year-old boy’s night out has gone badly wrong. He lies on the railway tracks in front of an oncoming train. Less than two miles away, his father becomes aware his son is in danger and starts running to the tracks on the other side of town.

It soon becomes clear, what happened that night and afterwards – is not as it first appears.
