Ex-cop Alexa Crowe (Lucy Lawless, Xena: Warrior Princess) has two passions: solving crime and baking bread. Once a lone-wolf detective, she's well and truly found her people now. Bestie/techie Madison (Ebony Vagulans, The Heart Guy) is stepping up. Her brother Will (Martin Henderson, Virgin River) is staying close. Charming café owner Reuben (Joseph Naufahu, Game of Thrones) is stepping in. And Detective Harry (Rawiri Jobe, Shortland Street) has her back. Whether she's investigating homicidal hairdressers, brutal ballet dancers, wicked widows, or even a case of deadly stir fry, Alexa is determined to uncover the most carefully hidden secrets that crack Auckland's most bewildering mysteries. But when a case digs up her painful past, Alexa herself becomes a suspect, and she'll need her friends' help more than ever to clear her name. Guest stars include Rodger Corser (The Heart Guy), Bill Bailey (Hot Fuzz), and Erik Thomson (800 Words).
