麻豆约拍

David Park's haunting story of a grieving father coming to terms with the loss of his son.

Tom sets off in the snow from Belfast to collect his son Luke from university digs in Sunderland. The weather means that airports are closed so Tom must make the journey by car.

He sets off armed with supplies, his camera and a music playlist and as he drives explores the circumstances of his son Daniel's disappearance and death: his own grief, anger and guilt.

As he nears his destination he must face a shameful secret. Before he arrives he stops at the Angel of the North where he deletes the last photograph of his dead son and takes a new one. He resumes his journey with a new sense of hope.

Omnibus of five parts abridged by Robin Brooks.

Read by Richard Orr.

Producer: Natalie Steed
