About This Program

"One for the Road" is a television programme classified as an episode. It is listed simply as a programme with the genre noted as an episode, and no further production details are supplied. The title alone signals that the story will be presented in a self‑contained format, typical of a single‑installment narrative. The central narrative follows a woman who disappears while in Key West. Local investigators are confronted with a puzzling dilemma: should they treat the case as a routine missing‑person inquiry, or should they approach it as a potential homicide investigation? The uncertainty hinges on the limited information available about the circumstances of her disappearance. Set against the backdrop of Key West, the episode concentrates on the investigative team’s deliberations over the appropriate course of action. Their discussion reflects the broader question of how law‑enforcement resources are allocated when a disappearance could either be a voluntary absence or the work of a perpetrator. The story therefore pivots on the tension between searching for a missing spouse and hunting a possible killer, without revealing any additional plot points or character details.
