Synopsis
Sorcha Groundsell leads the cast as Kat Crichton, a young Family Liaison Officer, assigned to investigate the brutal murder of the wife of a local tycoon at a remote island mansion. She stars alongside Sagar Radia who plays her boss, DCI Ahmed Halim.
The murder investigation unravels on the island of Lewis and Harris, from where Kat mysteriously fled ten years previously.
The series cast has been cleverly assembled to combine a mixture of seasoned and home-grown acting talent. Iain Macrae (Bannan) stars as Sir Douglas, the head of the wealthy – but deeply dysfunctional – Maclean family.
Having been wounded in the attack that killed his wife, Lady Mary, mystery surrounds whether the self-made millionaire is somehow implicated. Amidst the most stunning Scottish backdrop, this four-part series takes viewers on a murder mystery journey of suspense to find out who the killer really is, with surprising twists and turns along the way.
