If only the designers, builders & owners hadn't bought into the ultimately fatal myth of her being unsinkable... If only the Titanic had been adequately supplied with lifeboats. There were, in fact places for only 1, 200 people, although 2, 228 passengers & crew were aboard the glittering pleasure palace for her maiden
- & final
- voyage. What makes the Titanic Saga so compelling, of course, are the private stories of those who embarked on the fateful crossing, many of whom we meet in this gripping mini series.

10 April, 1912 As the RMS Titanic leaves from Southampton Docks for her maiden voyage to New York, little do her 2, 223 passengers dream of the powers at play on board the ship & the terrifying fate that awaits them far out in the icy wastes of the Atlantic. For on board the Titanic are three men
- among the richest in America
- who, with the President of the United States an unwitting pawn in their scheme, are about to make an announcement that will change the course of history. Aware of the gravity of the situation, the head of British Intelligence dispatches his best & most trusted agent, Alex Tremayne, onto the Titanic with one objective in mind
- he has to stop the men from reaching New York, by whatever means necessary. Aided by the coolly beautiful American agent Maria Weston, is Alex prepared for the lengths he will have to go to fulfil his mission?
