Womaniser Mike Mason, star of TV's Bargain Basement, and his wife Liz were involved in a hit-and-run accident in which a young teenage girl, Carol Mitchell, was killed.

After a rollercoaster ride of twists and turns, the play reaches its dramatic conclusion as the full shocking truth of Carol Mitchell’s death is revealed... along with the identity of their antagonist.
