When Danny, a young boy, is found dead on the coast of a town known best for whale-watching it throws the community into turmoil. Soon deemed a homicide, the case is taken up by a new-hire Detective Emmet Carver (David Tennant, Broadchurch) whose appointment has taken a job promised to Detective Ellie Miller (Anna Gunn, Breaking Bad). A powerhouse supporting cast including Nick Nolte (A Walk in the Woods), Michael Peña (End of Watch), Virginia Kull (Boardwalk Empire) and Kevin Rankin (Breaking Bad) contribute to a drama that draws on and echoes the TV phenomenon Broadchurch, but whose path leads to an altogether different and more devastating conclusion.
