MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY Collision

Fate entangles the lives of 10 strangers in a multi-vehicle crash. Friday, July 23 at 9:30 p.m. on PBS-HD

Collision tells the story of a major road accident and the 10 seemingly unconnected people involved. Beyond the chaotic landscape of corpses and crumpled cars, a series of invisible dramas unfolds — from government cover-ups to torn relationships and murder.

Six cars collide in a terrible spectacle leaving two dead. Detective Inspector John Tolin (Douglas Henshall, Primeval) is called in to clean up, and quiet the cries of racism coming from the family of one of the victims.

But a methodical investigation only scratches the surface of the ten strangers involved, and the surprising and touching ways they are transformed after the accident. Senior Investigating Officer Ann Stallwood (Kate Ashfield, Poirot), herself entangled with Tolin, joins the inquiry as allegations of corporate crime, infidelity, shameful secrets and murder slowly rise from the wreckage.

The film investigates human nature, fate and the intriguing ways the truths of our lives are revealed.
