The Accident

Three women. One accident. Who's to blame?

The lonely doctor

Imogen has always wanted to be a doctor, but the pressure of her job is slowly cracking her fragile mental state, and her infatuation with an old flame is twisting into something darker.

The kind teacher

Zoe's job is going well and she is blissfully in love with her new boyfriend - but his old friend, Imogen, still seems to be obsessed with him . . .

The single mum

Grace has her hands full as a vet and a harried mother to a recovering anorexic teenager. And when circumstances force her daughter to change school, Grace's long-hidden secrets are threatened with exposure.

All it takes is one fateful accident to change all their lives forever.
