Plot
Chief air crash investigator Marcus Hodge (Iain Glen) and his team consisting of Gaynor Crosswell (Sarah Parish) and Phil Epson (Hugh Bonneville) of the Air Accident Investigation Bureau are tasked with investigating a tragic plane crash involving Atlas Air Flight 231, which explodes in the sky over rural England. As well as all 280 passengers on board losing their lives, a number of civilians on the ground are also killed. Marcus's job is to sift through the wreckage of the downed aircraft – ‘tin kicking’ – to search for clues as to what might have caused the explosion. Despite pressure from both the public and the airline to declare the explosion an act of terrorism, the investigators try to keep their pace to reveal the truth. Marcus soon discovers that it was in fact a bomb smuggled aboard the plane that caused the explosion.
Shortly before the crash, Marcus was waiting at the airport for the arrival of his 15-year-old daughter Angel, whom he had not seen since leaving his wife twelve years ago. Angel had contacted him by phone and was planning to come and visit – and was due to arrive on Atlas Air Flight 231. As a result, Marcus is personally involved in the case. When he finally receives the passenger list, he is relieved to discover his daughter's name isn't on it. But in the wreckage of the plane, Marcus finds a small souvenir that he had given to his daughter twelve years ago. He soon discovers that Angel travelled on a false passport, and was actually on board the flight. Suspicion of Angel's involvement in the explosion continues to grow, and Marcus is forced to try and prove that his daughter is innocent. He must fight against time, the growing anger of the relatives of the victims and the pressure of the public.
