Last Resort: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The series finds retired librarian Gail, her sister Joy who suffers from early-stage dementia, and old friends Dee and Charlie setting off for a fun filled holiday meant to be Joy's bucket list trip. But when tragedy strikes in the idyllic holiday town, the police are quick to call it an accident. However, the group are convinced it is murder and set out to prove it.   

The friends dive into their own investigation with the help of Joy's daughter Kate soon crossing paths with DI Simon Lund. As old crimes surface and dark patterns emerge, the group of friends finds that this seemingly idyllic resort town – with its beach walks, pub lunches, and good-natured bickering - hides something far more sinister. Together they must piece together one devastating mystery and track down a killer who has been hunting in this close–knit coastal community and beyond.
