night prank, gone wrong. He and his team and working against the clock to find
missing groom Michael Harrison.

With his photographic memory and
interest in the paranormal, Roy’s controversial investigative techniques are

his early promotion to Detective Superintendent. Roy is human, he can makes
mistakes; he often gets into trouble with boss Alison Vosper and the media over
his choice to involve mediums when investigating cases and his judgment can
sometimes be clouded by his never-ending search for Sandy.

assigned the task of finding the missing groom before the upcoming wedding day.
When they set about solving the mystery of Harrison’s disappearance; they soon
come to realize that distraught fiancée Ashley Harper and best friend and
business partner Mark Warren may not be all they seem to be.

mystery series takes crime dramas into the underbelly of tourist Brighton and
shows a realistic approach to the life of a detective. Roy Grace, played by
‘The Red Riding Trilogy’ actor David Morrissey works alongside a brilliant cast
of British talent including Channel 4’s ‘Top Boy’ actor Ashley Walters and 4’S ‘Cape
Wrath’ actress Felicity Jones.
