Hinterland

On his first day on a new job DCI Tom Mathias investigates a blood soaked bathroom and the disappearance of 64 year old Helen Jenkins. The inquiry focuses on an old Childrens home above the ravine spanned by the Devils Bridge.

At a remote farmhouse, sixty-nine year old Idris Williams is discovered bludgeoned to death, and the investigation into his murder reveals the mountain’s bloody past.

Mathias is under pressure. His wife Meg has turned up in Aberystwyth and hes under investigation by the IPCC following the death of Mari Davies at the end of the last episode. When a bus driver is found shot dead on an isolated mountainside, the investigation provides a welcome escape.

The murder of a local dignitary and barrister leads to the uncovering of a tragic story of love and loss fuelled by mistrust and suspicion in the depths of the Hinterland. Why were Nora and Daniel living such a secluded life? What has Mathias discovered in the garden? Will he find Daniel before Glyn Powell gets hold of him? The clock is ticking, but Mathias knows that the relationship between Branwen Powell and Daniel is key to uncovering the truth.

The discovery of a body in a remote lake leads Mathias and the team to investigate the complicated private life of a teacher missing from a small rural school.

As the investigation into the murder of a local minister continues, the net tightens around the ministers daughter. And as the case is brought to a shattering close, Chief Superintendent Prosser is forced to confront an old foe.

With time running out, Mathias must solve the mystery of Laura Deans death whilst trying not to get distracted by his personal problems.
