By Alan McDonald. Over from Canada to visit Manchester, her dead mother's hometown, a momentary lapse of concentration while driving causes Jodie to turn into the wrong lane of a dual carriageway- directly into the path of an on-coming four-by-four. She escapes unhurt- but then the driver of the car she has hit decides to chase her. Several onlookers, each with a story of their own, must decide whether or not to intervene.
