Synopsis:

If you could see the future, would you change it? From the makers of 'Afterlife' and 'Persuasion', comes a high octane drama series that sees a team of detectives in a race against time to change the future. A series of mysterious images are transmitted from space. They appear to show an explosion, a major incident in which many are killed - but the images also suggest the incident hasn't even happened yet - that it will take place in 18 hours. DI Rebecca Flint (Tamzin Outhwaite) and her team, DS Ben Holt (Mark Bonnar) and DC Callum Gada (Chiké Okonkwo) investigate, alongside Dr Christian King (Emun Elliott), a top space scientist whose satellite picked up these rogue images. As Dr King attempts to find the source of these images in the infinite possibility of space, the rest of the team struggle with their new found responsibility. Forced to intervene in the course of destiny, never certain whether or not the future is in their control, is it really their place to change the future, to play God? And is their very involvement actually helping to cause the tragedies they are trying to prevent?

With her team of Gada and Holt, and helped by King, she pin-points the catastrophe as happening on a railway bridge, where a train has broken down and towards which a lorry containing explosive materials is heading. Ultimately, as Rebecca seeks solace with Gada, King sees more images projected onto his screens of likely future events.
