For those yet to tune into the new episodes, it begins with both Sunny and Jess forced to abandon their evening plans after the discovery of human remains on Whitney Marsh. Dr Balcombe's analysis reveals that the remains are relatively recent and suggest the body was placed there already dismembered. With this information, Jess and Sunny intensify their search, certain that other body parts may not be far away.
The synopsis continues: "As the investigation unfolds, viewers are introduced to a diverse new cast of characters: Melinda Ricci (MyAnna Buring), an outspoken television commentator based in Ireland; Martin 'Marty' Baines (Maximilian Fairley), an autistic man living with his mother, Dot (Michele Dotrice), in Deal, Kent; Asif Syed (Elham Ehsas), an Afghan training for his UK citizenship test; and Juliet Cooper (Victoria Hamilton), a History Lecturer and Faculty Head at a London university.
"While these characters live seemingly separate lives, they are intricately connected by their pasts. It’s up to Jess, Sunny, and their dedicated team to uncover these hidden links and ultimately expose the truth behind the cold case murder."
