The sinking of the RMS Titanic has left Harold Bride teetering on the edge of sanity. Harold's recent display during Lord Mersey's preliminary hearing has caused unease among the committee members of the White Star Line. In the hope of avoiding Harold's scandalous admission to Blackwell Asylum, the committee arranges for a young and hopefully impressionable psychologist to review him. But Harold has never been good at lying. His account of the sinking isn't adding up, and those who stray from the White Star Line script are being driven to the unthinkable. Soon Harold finds himself in an impossible position between the truth and self-preservation.
