The Boy That Never Was

Episode 1

The series opens with Harry (Colin Morgan) and Robin (Toni O’Rourke) living the life of artists in Essaouira, Morocco with their toddler son, Dillon. Tragedy strikes when an earthquake hits and their apartment crumbles – with a sleeping Dillon inside.

When Harry races back to rescue his child, there is no sign of him. Not even a
body. Three years later, Harry and Robin have returned to their native Dublin and are
co-existing as two grieving parents just trying to get by. With Dillon’s body never found, the absence of and need for closure hums between them. They are trying to move on by renovating an old property in Dublin, their new home.

In a crowded train station in Dublin city centre, Harry believes he spots Dillon
with a red-haired woman. He gives chase – he loses track of the boy but is now
on a mission to find him.
