This is a deeply personal story of guilt – how to live with it, and its power to transform us.

Four years ago, producer Dave Anderson caused a climbing accident that badly injured his partner, Cassie. In this series, Dave and Cassie try to piece together their very different experiences of what happened. Through difficult and intimate conversations, they tell the whole story, from the first traumatic seconds to the emotional fallout years later.

For Dave, the guilt has been overwhelming. Now, he’s searching for ways of living with it, talking to people with unique perspectives on this painful emotion. What are we misunderstanding about guilt? And how can we tap into its hidden power?

In Episode 1, Cassie and Dave grapple with their unreliable memories of the accident and try to understand how the first hour set their course for years to come.
