This crime drama is based on the popular Danish series called Forbrydelsen. Season one follows investigations by homicide detectives in Seattle linked to the single murder of local teenager Rosie Larsen. The first season covers the first two weeks of the investigation and has three main storylines: the police investigation into Rosie's murder, the attempts of her family to deal with their grief, and the fluctuating electoral fortunes of a political campaign that becomes embroiled in the case.
