A young boy, DANNY SOLANO (guest star Nikolas Filipovic), is found dead on an idyllic beach in the small seaside town of Gracepoint, spurring a major investigation lead by Detective EMMETT CARVER (David Tennant, "Broadchurch," "Dr. Who"), who has just arrived in Gracepoint to fill a high position in the town's police force. That job previously had been promised to Detective ELLIE MILLER (Emmy Award winner Anna Gunn, "Breaking Bad"), who, in light of the tragedy, must put any resentment aside and work the case with her prickly new boss. Danny's parents MARK (Michael Pena, "End of Watch") and BETH SOLANO (Virginia Kull, "Boardwalk Empire"), and his older sister, CHLOE (newcomer Madalyn Horcher) are devastated by the news, which carves a powerfully dark wake through the town as friends become suspects.
