The Hidden
In a quiet coastal town one December night, a young girl is discovered abandoned. When her mother finally arrives, authorities dismiss it as a simple case of a toddler wandering off innocently.
Meanwhile, Gregor, a seemingly single man, is found severely beaten in his apartment. Children's toys found at the scene raise puzzling questions.
Ruby, who observes Gregor's apartment nightly, uncovers his hidden family: a silent daughter and a mentally unstable wife, Constance, who believes she descends from Selkies and seeks her hidden sealskin to return to her people. Constance implores Ruby for help in finding it.
DS Joanna Harper investigates Gregor's assault, discovering CCTV footage of the mother-daughter pair from town. To her shock, the woman is her estranged daughter, Ruby. Despite the implications, Joanna prioritizes her daughter over her career without hesitation.
