An extraordinary re-telling of the doomed voyage that features both fictional and historical characters, ranging from steerage passengers to upper class guests.
In this first episode of the series, the focus is on the first-class passengers, specifically the Earl and Countess of Manton and their daughter Georgiana. When the Titanic strikes the iceberg, all of them must decide on their future.
Jim Maloney is in charge of completing the electrics on the Titanic. He is offered free passage on the ship's maiden voyage, for himself and his family, if he can get the work completed on time. He accepts but the ship strikes an iceberg.
Italian stoker Mario Sandrini blags a job on the Titanic for his brother Paolo, who encounters Annie Desmond and is instantly smitten. Watson is loitering in steerage and Barnes is shocked to discover why, while Paolo startles Annie.
After the RMS Titanic strikes the iceberg, passengers and crew face a life-or-death situation. Paolo desperately tries to save his brother, Mabel is locked in a stateroom, and Jim tries to rescue one of his children.
