About the series

Former detective Dennis Crown has come to sunny Benidorm hoping to leave his police career behind and enjoy a quieter life running a small pub. But peace and quiet are the last things he finds there when a string of mysterious murders begins to disrupt the resort town. Dennis is drawn back into detective work by Rosa, his lively new bartender and an aspiring actress with a serious obsession with British crime dramas. Together, the unlikely pair begin investigating cases that range from the suspicious death of a tribute-band musician to a body discovered on the roof of a comedy club. Each new case takes them into a world of tourists, performers, locals and eccentric characters, all with their own secrets and possible motives. As Dennis and Rosa grow closer as a crime-solving duo, their investigations become increasingly personal. But their partnership is put to the ultimate test when a guest is found dead after a secret party at Dennis's pub — and the evidence starts pointing directly at Dennis himself. Now he must uncover the truth before the police arrest him for a murder he insists he did not commit.
