Plot

[edit]

Based on the best-selling novel The Chemistry of Death, the series tells the story of Dr. David Hunter, who is forced by a tragic stroke of fate to give up his profession.[2] He has set up a new life in a small village called Manham. There he works as a partner to the village doctor, Dr. Maitland. When the local police ask him to help solve a murder case, the ghosts of his past plague him. Now Hunter has to decide whether to turn away or return to his old life, which he actually wanted to leave behind forever. Even as the demons of his past haunt him, Hunter decides to return to work for the police and is drawn into cases that bring him to his limits.[3]
