Synopsis

On a misty morning in the Lake District, a helicopter lifts off from a private estate and heads towards Scafell Pike as fell runners compete on England’s highest mountain. Moments later, the pilots lose control and the aircraft crashes into the mountaintop, leaving runners and bystanders caught in the devastation.

DI Kelly Porter arrives to help co-ordinate rescue efforts, but it soon becomes clear the incident is more than a tragic accident. With three dead and one survivor badly injured, attention intensifies when the survivor is identified as the Right Honourable Lord Donald Reilly and the flight is linked to billionaire Bartholomew Kennedy-Craig. As evidence suggests the helicopter was tampered with, Kelly and her team face intense scrutiny while trying to establish who the intended victim was, and why.
