Episode 1
The lives of a prisoner on death row, a journalist looking for a story, a vicar in a sleepy English town and a maths tutor trapped in a cellar intertwine in a deadly way.
“Everyone’s a murderer. You just have to meet the right person.”
In the US, a prisoner on death row is seeking atonement as he faces execution. On a train in England, a journalist is looking for a story. In a quiet little village, a vicar is picking up his son’s maths tutor from the station. All four are about to become entangled in a dilemma that could lead one of them to murder.
