A trainee detective grapples with a complicated murder investigation in Granite Harbour, a new drama produced by BBC Scotland.
Set in Aberdeen, the series follows Royal Military Police veteran Davis Lindo (Romario Simpson) as he retrains for a position in the police force.
The action kicks off from day one, when a local oil magnate is found dead in a forest just as his company announces a controversial merger with a Swedish renewables firm.
Lindo and his supervisor, DS Lara Bartlett (Hannah Donaldson), quickly find themselves at the centre of the case, with no shortage of plausible suspects to sift through.
