Thomas Ford and his wife Lea are driving home, as they round a bend in the road they are faced with a car coming straight at them which is overtaking a lorry. To avoid a head-on collision Thomas turns the wheel and heads straight across in front of the lorry and towards a wall. They go straight through the wall and plunge down into a Loch. Thomas is the only one of them to survive. When he finally regains consciousness in hospital he is able to tell the police about the red car, the bird-featured young man who was driving and the square-jawed young man who was the passenger. As Thomas was the only witness and the police can not find any evidence of another car they doubt his version of the story and that the red car existed.
Jimmy, the driver of the red car, and Robert his passenger, do not want to be found and identified. Jimmy is the son of the local house building entrepreneur who also has a few secrets of his own he wants to keep hidden and so when it looks as though Jimmy may be close to being found out he does all he can to help him to get rid of any evidence, and people, who may know what has happened.
