Plot Summary

The series is set in the fictional seaside town of Blacksea, and follows the story of a small team of police officers tasked with solving crimes in the area.

The team is led by Chief Inspector Harry Batt, a veteran detective with a no-nonsense attitude and a troubled past. His team includes Detective Sergeant John Henderson, a younger and more idealistic officer, and Detective Constable Kelly Cooper, a former prostitute who has turned her life around and is now determined to make a positive difference in her community.

Throughout the series, the team investigates a range of crimes, including murder, theft, and drug trafficking. They face challenges and obstacles along the way, both in their personal lives and in their work, but they remain dedicated to bringing justice to the victims.

As the series progresses, the team becomes embroiled in a larger conspiracy involving corrupt police officers and organized crime. They must work together to uncover the truth and bring the criminals to justice, while also confronting their own personal demons and struggles.
