Mystery | Thriller Police Procedural
In the sleepy British seaside town of Broadchurch, Detective
Ellie Miller has just returned from vacation, only to learn
that she’s been passed over for a promotion at work in favor
of outsider Alec Hardy. He, escaping the spectacular failure
of his last case, is having trouble finding his way into
this tight-knit community wary of new faces. But
professional rivalry aside, both detectives are about to
receive some terrible news: 11-year-old Danny Latimer has
been found murdered on the beach. For Ellie it's a personal blow; Danny was her older son’s
best friend. She can’t believe anyone in Broadchurch would
ever have harmed him. But Alec considers everyone, even
Danny’s parents, suspect in his death. It’s a living
nightmare for everyone involved…even before the press arrive
and start stirring up the secrets every town member keeps
hidden behind closed doors. An intimate portrait of a town and the ordinary grievances
that have slowly simmered for years before boiling over in
an unthinkable crime, this remarkable adaptation of the hit
television show Broadchurch tells the story of a shattered
family, a reeling town, and the two imperfect detectives
trying to bring them answers.
