The Accident

Harriet is in the dock for gross negligence manslaughter as the families’ private prosecution finally arrives in court. Angela and the others have nearly bankrupted themselves to fund the case. Polly fears for Leona, who wants to give evidence, but it’s in her relationship with Iwan that she must face the biggest questions.

The Inquest opens and questions are asked – of Iwan, of Alan, and of Harriet. Polly is forced to choose between her husband and justice when asked to betray Iwan to get the evidence the families of the victims need. Meanwhile, Harriet’s boss faces her with an impossible choice – with devastating results for Tim.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, Polly worries that Iwan might be hiding something. Angela gathers the families to fight for justice, and as Harriet faces questions at work, her assistant and lover, Tim, acts to protect her by leaking information that drives a wedge through the town.

Polly Bevan is a devoted mother and loyal wife to local politician and leader of Glyngolau Council, Iwan. Disaster strikes their town when a construction site collapses, killing a group of children. Only Polly’s daughter, Leona, survives. The town, including Polly’s close friends Angela, Greta and Debbie, mourn the deaths of loved ones. Polly directs her anger at the Kallbridge Development’s project’s leader, slick executive Harriet Paulsen. But as the dust settles Polly’s shocked to realise it might be Leona who gets the blame.
