Episode 1 of 6

When Irish journalist Aileen Ryan goes missing, detectives Theo Richter and Diana Huia are compelled to remain in the small town of Mt Affinity, New Zealand, to lead the search.

Irish detective Theo Richter is poised to board his flight back to Dublin, having closed the kidnapping case that brought him to New Zealand. He plans to return to Ireland with Irish journalist Aileen Ryan as he starts to come to terms with a recent devastating diagnosis.

But when Aileen fails to arrive at the airport, Richter again teams up with Māori detective Diana Huia to begin the search. Aileen was following a lead on the identity of the Goat Man, responsible for the unsolved Mountain Murders over a decade earlier.

When Richter and Huia find signs of a violent struggle, they widen the police search and bring in local Māori trackers to help.
