A procedural crime drama centered on a haunted detective whose personal obsession with his missing wife shadows his professional investigations, balancing case-of-the-week structure with serialized emotional weight.

Brighton based Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is a hard-working police officer who has given his life to the job, but his career is currently at rock bottom. He’s fixated by the disappearance of his beloved wife, Sandy, and running enquiries into long forgotten cold cases with little prospect of success. Following another reprimand for his unorthodox police methods, Grace is walking a career tightrope and risks being moved from the job he loves most.
