Episode one synopsis

Left You Dead opens amid an anti-corruption inquiry at East Sussex Police. Tensions remain after ACC Cassian Pewe’s betrayal.

Roy must weigh Cassian’s intelligence about Sandy’s murder. He also worries about a threat to Bruno’s life.

The case centres on Eden, wife of developer Neel, who is reported missing. A distressing voicemail and signs of disturbance raise urgent alarm.

Neel reveals recent threats linked to a housing development. Initial leads point to intimidation, but deeper evidence suggests darker secrets.

Grace and his team dig into Neel and Eden’s life to find the truth. The plot forces Roy to separate truth from deception.
