The Herald

On the 6^th  day of March, 1987, the ferry Herald of Free Enterprise capsizes off Zeebrugge, Belgium.

Eight passengers are either not on the manifest, or not travelling under their own names.:

Derek and Caroline – Derek needs to provide an alibi for his brother, who is up on a murder charge.

Two members of the DEVRIX family, wealthy hoteliers.

Two Dutch girls who are in trouble and need to get out of Belgium – fast.

Two young German men who are being paid to deliver a ‘package’ to London.

Those who survive the disaster find their lives irrevocably changed.
