Murder-mystery series Shetland returns for a new thrilling six-part tale, as DI Perez (Douglas Henshall) and the team investigate the mysterious disappearance of a vulnerable young man.
On return from suspension, DI Perez reunites with Tosh (Alison O'Donnell) as they meet the owners of a local B&B, Rachel and Danny Cairns, who are frantic with worry over the sudden disappearance of their son, Connor.
New to Shetland, the family moved from Glasgow after Connor suffered a breakdown.
Rachel worries that history has repeated itself, but Perez suspects they are hiding something.
Perez, Tosh and Sandy (Steven Robertson) find that Connor was well-known and much-loved, with many worried about his whereabouts. Interviews with his sister, Abbie, and his girlfriend, Bryd, highlight Connor's fraught relationship with his father, which sometimes saw him escape to his ‘safe place’.
The case takes a dramatic turn when Tosh discovers Danny Cairns’ past life and the reasons behind their sudden relocation to Shetland.
As the ghosts of Danny’s past resurface, Perez and his team are under pressure to protect the Cairns family and find Connor before it’s too late.
Shetland airs tonight (Wednesday, August 10) at 9pm on BBC One.
