DCI Tom Mathias is a man on the run from his past.

Having just left the Met police in London, he finds himself holed up in the outskirts of Aberystwyth, a university town on the west coast of Wales sandwiched between the Irish sea and a vast mountainous hinterland. He hardly has time to unpack before being called to the scene of a brutal attack at an isolated chalet in the sand dunes. The victim is believed to be a 64 year old God-fearing woman, Helen Jenkins, but she is nowhere to be found.

The investigation leads him to the remote village of Devil’s Bridge where for many years Helen Jenkins ran a Children’s Home. The home has long since closed and is now a hotel, eerie, mysterious, atmospheric and a treasure trove of buried secrets. Mathias knows that only by unlocking the secrets of what happened at the children’s home years ago will he crack the case and reveal the murderer

Hinterland, Friday at 9 p.m. on PBS 6.
