第二季中，侦探杜尔西·柯林斯（凯特·波克斯 Kate Box 饰）和埃迪·雷德克利夫（玛德琳·萨米 Madeleine Sami 饰）将前往澳大利亚的Top End地区。她们起初在达尔文调查雷德克利夫前任警务伙伴布什的死亡案件，然而在一个偏远小镇发现了两名Top End知名人士的尸体，这开启了一场“更紧张、更棘手”的新调查。
The plot revolves around Richard Bean (Kline), a Broadway star known for his egotism, who experiences a public breakdown and retreats to his hometown. After returning to the family-run theater where he first discovered his talent, he finds his father, the former artistic director, suffering from dementia. The theater, now reduced to a dinner theater serving murder mysteries, is run by his brother (Tenney) and sister-in-law, who is also the town’s mayor. Determined to restore the theater’s former glory, Richard plans to stage a great American classic, with himself as director and star, in an effort to save both the theater and the town.
