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 3, Cassie and Dave are both confronted with the gravity of her injuries. They meet face to face for the first time since the accident – will Cassie blame him for what he did, or offer forgiveness? Dave searches for a way forward in the Jewish tradition his family followed for many generations.
