The series follows an ordinary emergency caller who has his whole life turned upside down after one desperate call.

What is The Control Room about?

Under pressure to work out who the mystery woman is, Gabe makes a decision that could lead to very devastating consequences.

But Gabe is even more horrified when the caller seems to recognise his voice.
She says: “Gabo, is that you?”
If that doesn’t give you chills, I don’t know what will!
