The New Zealand crime drama about Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) and his team, who investigate murders in the fictional town of Brokenwood, returns for a tenth series. From a brutal murder with a Jurassic twist to a spooky crime scene amidst the Day of the Dead, a lovestruck dental patient and a vicious visit to a House of Horrors, this season's homicides capture the quirky spirit of New Zealand's deadliest town.

After the sudden death of his wife Sofia, DCI Joe Mottram has taken a sabbatical, hoping to reconnect with his teenage daughter Angelica. For Joe, a summer visiting family in Italy was meant to offer refuge and chance to heal broken family bonds. His in-laws Chef Gennaro and Elena Da Vinale, run a beloved seaside restaurant, and they welcome Joe and Angelica with open arms. Police work is the last thing on Joe’s mind but when a local man’s body is found on a beach and Gennaro’s nephew and sous-chef, Luca, is arrested for murder, Joe can’t avoid getting involved in the investigation and soon finds himself clashing with local Inspector Lara Sarrancino.
