Two vastly different female detectives are thrown together to solve the murder of a local man in the sleepy seaside hamlet of Deadloch.
The body of local football club coach Trent Latham is found on the beach; Local Senior Sergeant Dulcie Collins takes charge.
Dulcie exhumes the former mayor's body; The boat of Sam O'Dwyer is set on fire.
The body of another suspect is found on the shore of the lake; Dulcie suspects it is linked.
While Dulcie and Cath's relationship hits a very rough patch, new suspects are named and dismissed.
The town is gripped by terror after the latest discovery, as the investigation causes friction.
When the mayor calls a press conference announcing the Deadloch Winter Feastival is back on, the media pounce on the opportunity to ask about the murders. Meanwhile Dulcie and Eddie have brought Skye O'Dwyer in for questioning. While much of the evidence points to her being involved, Dulcie's having trouble pursuing her close friend and can't believe she is capable of the murders. In a search for concrete evidence, the detectives triangulate on how Skye may have killed all these men.
