Synopsis

Tom Bryce's life takes a terrifying turn after a seemingly innocent act of kindness. Finding a forgotten CD on a train, he attempts to return it, only to unwittingly become the sole witness to a brutal murder. But the nightmare has just begun. Within hours, his young family is threatened with death if he dares to involve the police. Despite the immense danger, and supported by his steadfast wife, Kellie, Tom makes a brave statement to the murder inquiry team, led by the enigmatic Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, a man wrestling with his own personal demons, including a missing wife. This decision plunges the Bryces into a chilling game of cat and mouse, as their impending murders are not only predicted but broadcast online, turning their demise into a morbid, live-streamed spectacle. The internet is poised to watch them 'looking good dead,' and Grace must race against time to stop the unthinkable.
