Crime & Suspense

When DS Ramesh Bandara is asked to head up a homicide investigation in a small New Zealand beachside town, he has no idea he's stumbled onto something much bigger. With little to go on, the investigation is frustratingly slow to get off the ground, but it's Bandara's unconventional colleague Hilary Stark who spots similarities with a murder case she worked on years before. Overnight, their suspect list expands to include the cast and crew from a controversial reality TV show, HOOKED UP, that screened a decade earlier. Someone, it appears, has been holding on to a grudge for a very long time. But is Hilary's hunch really on the money? This is New Zealand, after all...
