The Gulf (2019 – 2021)

Detective Stella Maris thought she was reopening a closed file – a decades-old missing person’s case – for closure. But as she delves deeper into the investigation, unsettling gaps begin to surface in her own memories, blurring the lines between past and present. This atmospheric New Zealand series unravels a gripping psychological mystery where nothing is quite as it seems, and Stella must confront not only the secrets of a cold case but also the disturbing possibility that her own mind holds the key to a far more sinister truth.

Detective Jess Savage desperately hopes to build a fresh start – nurturing a budding relationship with her daughter, Ruby, and finally escaping the shadows of her past. But that fragile peace is shattered when a ruthless blackmailer emerges, determined to expose a dark secret: Jess’s involvement in a murder. Forced to confront her history, she races against time to unmask her tormentor while simultaneously tackling complex cases alongside her partner, DS Justin Harding. As Justin grapples with his own complicated family ties, attempting to reconnect with his estranged father, he's drawn into a dangerous web of secrets that culminates in a truly unsettling revelation.
