Plot of ‘Grace’
The series commences with an introduction to Roy Grace who’s career has hit rock bottom. His wife, Sandy, disappeared in the past and the inability to find out the truth haunts his thoughts. He now goes through forgotten cold cases with little prospect of success. Detective Roy Grace is at a great risk of being moved from the job he loves most. Knowing his potential, his colleague Detective Sergeant Glenn Branson asks him for help with a case surrounding a stag night prank gone wrong which results in a groom going missing. Branson calls upon Grace to investigate the mysterious disappearance of the groom (who is a successful property developer) three days before his wedding to his fiancé. With nothing but instinct, a lingering suspicion and his unorthodox
police methods, Roy Grace takes on the case and traces the groom’s disappearance and becomes uneasily close to the bride to be.
‘Grace’ is predicted to commence its filming by April in 2024 with Brighton, United Kingdom, serving as the primary location for the series.
