A father’s grief and guilt return with a vengeance when he becomes convinced that he’s seen his son at a train station, three years after he was engulfed in the ruins of an earthquake. Here’s where to watch The Boy That Never Was online for free – from anywhere.
Harry (Colin Morgan) and Robin’s (Toni O’Rourke) idyllic life in Essaouira is shattered when their apartment is reduced to rubble with their three-year-old son, Dillon, inside. Harry only survived by virtue of being out at the moment of impact, but with Robin working, why wasn’t he at home?
Robin doesn’t realize it until her husband’s impulsive return to Morocco, but Harry’s chance encounter on the train platform has stirred up a sense of immense remorse, and his quest for salvation lands him in a dangerous situation. What really happened on that night?
