SLEEPING DOGS

ABOUT THE SHOW

Two mothers are trying to uncover the facts surrounding a car accident that has left one woman's son dead and the other woman's son comatose.  Their investigation, which leads to surprising and disturbing revelations about the circumstances leading up to and immediately after the accident, ultimately forces the mothers to re-examine the identities of both themselves and the sons they thought they knew so well after realizing there has been a misidentification and switch of the victims.  Loosely based on a true story, "Sleeping Dogs" examines the complex and very personal reasons why some people are content to accept matters as they appear to be while others are compelled to seek the truth at any cost.  "Riveting...it is Ford's well-paced script that makes the show so remarkable." - The Des Moines Register
