Awake - Season 1 (2012)
After a car accident takes the life of a family member, a police detective lives two alternating parallel lives. In one existence, Britten's wife has survived the crash and his son has perished; in the other, his son continues to live but his wife was killed. Is one of his 'realities' merely a dream?
