What you need to know before your trail

As every parent knows, it’s hard when your child has an accident and when they do at school and you’re not there to comfort them at first, well that must be even harder.

Maddie and Joanna are devastated when Maddie’s son Ben falls in the school playground and ends up in a coma. Joanna’s son Josh was playing with him at the time and so the two families become linked in their grief. But when a second tragedy strikes, the two families discover that the truth is often very hard to bear and that sometimes the only question left to answer is why?

Travel Guide

A story which starts in a school in Manhattan but where the repercussions spread out in to the larger community and causes ripples of grief and guilt within two families.

One boy ends up with brain damage and the other one won’t speak about what happened. There are questions over who is exactly to blame as there would be if such an accident happened in any school and it’s the emotional fallout from this, for any parent which is very hard to read at times. That’s before the two families and their backgrounds come to light!
