The Crossing bridges the past and the present and connects Wales with America as it tells of coal owners and coal workers in the age of great transatlantic liners and fortunes to be made. At its heart is a father's search for his daughter in Welsh valleys no longer proud, where creaming off regeneration grants has replaced coal mining as a way of life and development parks now stand where once did pit head wheels. It follows a lifetime's search for lost love, the sinking of a great ship in a great war, misplaced family and forlorn hopes, where individual lives are shaped and fated in the shadow of modernity and the cold hand of progress.
