As the Titanic sank frantic passengers spotted lights that appeared to come from a nearby ship. But it did not come to their rescue. What was the ship? Why did it do nothing? Titanic Inquiry is the sensational true story of the SS Californian. Was it the ship seen from the deck of the Titanic? Did it stand idly by and watch as the Titanic sank and hundreds died?

After the infamous sinking of the RMS Titanic, a formal British Board of Trade inquiry about the disaster is called. During the proceedings, the serious allegation that another ship, the Californian, saw the sinking ship and its distress signals, but failed to render assistance is a topic of particular interest. While Captain Stanley Lord of the Californian pressures his officers to keep to his cover story, his immediate subordinates find themselves not only under official scrutiny, but quarreling about themselves about the events of that night. As a result, they are all confronted with a moral dilemma about where their true duty really lies.
