Synopsis

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds his personal life finally looking up with a promotion and a loving partner, but his newfound peace is shattered by a chilling new case. The discovery of a teenage body, meticulously stripped of its organs and dumped off the Sussex coast, quickly escalates into a horrifying investigation as more victims emerge. Simultaneously, fifteen-year-old Caitlin Beckett desperately needs a liver transplant, and with the official health system failing her, her distraught mother, Lynn, turns to the dark web for a black-market solution, prepared to pay any price. As Caitlin’s condition deteriorates, Lynn secures a promise of a perfect match. Grace, deeply disturbed by the systematic brutality of the killings, follows a complex trail of clues that leads him and his team into the terrifying world of international child trafficking, originating from Eastern Europe. The investigation becomes a desperate race against time, not only to uncover the truth behind the organ harvesting but also to save a young street kid caught in the crosshairs of a ruthless gang, while a mother's desperate love pushes her to unthinkable lengths to save her own child.
