Teenager Ellie Patterson (Macy Nyman) dies after her car skids out of control and hits a wall.

Jane and Davey realise that she’s the niece of their school friend Cath Lowe (Kate Miles) and have to break the sad news. Later at the mortuary Davey reveals to Ellie’s mother Debbie (Emma Handy) that Ellie was actually the passenger - someone else was driving.

Debbie accosts Ellie’s boyfriend Nick (Stefan Healy) who denies seeing Ellie that night and says she must have been with someone else. At the police station Davey tells Jane that Ellie’s car was wiped of prints - whoever was with her knew what they were doing.

Jane shows Davey the results of Ellie’s forensic post-mortem: if she’d stayed in the car she might have survived, but she was moved, which caused her right lung to collapse.

Whoever pulled her out of the car effectively killed her…

A group of thieves dressed as pirates steal thousands of pounds from a security van under the cover of Ligthaven’s Pirate Festival.

Despite Davey being in hot pursuit, the van is abandoned at the old fish market and the pirates vanish into the crowds.

That same morning, Jane and Clint (Oliver Gomm) are investigating a battered body found washed up on a crowded beach. The injuries to his face make him unrecognisable and the only clue to his identity is a distinctive skull tattoo.

Both Jane and Davey are stuck with their cases but after having a bet to see who can solve their case first, Mick (Ivan Kaye) provides Jane’s only lead; the tattoo shows the faceless man is on the darts team at his pub.

Meanwhile Davey is dealing with businessman Don Shapur, (Ramon Tikaram), the owner of the fish market.

John 'Blackbeard' Fraser (David Sterne) tells Jane that he doesn’t know the whereabouts of his darts teammates Tony or Dick - and then Dick’s wife Ruby identifies Jane’s mystery man as her husband Dick.

When Tony turns out to be the ex-caretaker at the fish market and the only man on the darts team unaccounted for, it seems Davey and Jane are after the same man.

Will they catch their missing pirate and find his stolen treasure?

Jerry Foxby (Iain Batchelor), a playboy aristocrat who mysteriously vanished in the 1990's, becomes of interest to Jane (Claire Goose).

Jerry disappeared after telling the police that he had killed a prostitute on his yacht - and now his younger brother, Oliver (Chris Larkin), would like his death to be certified so that he can claim the family title.

When Jane receives a tip-off from Helen Boyd, who claims to be the dead prostitute, it gets her attention. Taking the new lead to Davey he dismisses it as just another crackpot theory to add to the pile.

Jane won’t let it go and looks for help elsewhere. She asks The Foxbys’ long-serving housekeeper Peggy (Sandra Voe), to dish the dirt on the family. Despite being ever loyal, she gives Jane the feeling she knows more than she’s letting on.

When Helen is found dead and the evidence points back to The Foxbys, Davey starts taking Jane seriously - but is he too late to take his place in the history books as the one that caught Jerry Foxby?

Clint (Oliver Gomm) is amused by the victim’s distinctive private tattoo and the team begin to unravel the secrets of this man’s adventurous sex life.

Jason suggests that Fred must have stolen his car, but when the post-mortem shows Fred was the victim of a vicious attack they wonder if someone really wanted to hurt Fred - or if is this is a case of mistaken identity.

An anonymous phone call from someone who claims to know the whereabouts of missing teenager Sophie Marsh’s body prompts a forensic search of Dartmoor. Much to her mother’s distress, no body is found.

Jane (Claire Goose) and Davey (Matt Bardock) are both called in to investigate the death of an inmate at a nearby prison.

When addict Charlie MacKendrick is found dead in his cell by another prisoner, Davey assumes it's a straightforward drug overdose. But when the new prison governor Maggie Fordham Bryce (Michelle Austin) fills Jane in on Charlie’s background as a burglar with a possible stash of cash on the outside, Jane suspects something more.

Searching Charlie’s cell for answers, Jane finds a letter addressed to her from Charlie’s cellmate, the chilling Sydney Stone (Matthew Marsh) who is appealing his conviction for Sophie Marsh’s murder.

Although Davey warns against meeting up with such a manipulative child killer, Jane does it anyway with Davey by her side. She wants to know if she can solve both cases and offer some peace to Sophie’s mother - but by so doing is she unwittingly putting her own daughter in danger?

When Beth (Grace Hogg-Robinson) goes camping she finds a gruesome dead sheep that appears to have been ripped apart by a wild animal. Judith (Beatie Edney) suggests that 'The Beast of Lighthaven' - a panther released into the wild - must have killed it.

Jane (Claire Goose) and Beth think she’s joking. That’s until local journalist Ben Fairhead (Dario Coates) shows up asking questions, having found Beth’s picture of the sheep online.

Davey (Matt Bardock) is nearly lynched by an angry mob after locals accuse the police of not doing enough to protect the community from the big cat. Davey is dismissive of the threat, as is Ben’s editor Samuel (Joe Dixon) who wants more tangible evidence than Beth’s photo.

Ben is determined to find some, but the next day his mauled body is found on the moors. Was he murdered by the beast? While Davey struggles to come up with an explanation, Jane remains unconvinced that a big cat is to blame and is determined to find out what happened.

A volunteer in the Lighthaven Lifeboat Crew passes away after being submerged in water as a result of a hoax emergency call. Jane Kennedy suspects foul play, but Detective Sergeant Davey Higgins is not convinced - until other volunteers begin to be targeted.

When a distress flare sparks a call-out for the Angel Cove Lifeboat, the two female crew members, Erica (Nellie Burroughes) and Chrissy (Heather Peace) end up overboard - and Erica drowns.

Jane (Claire Goose) is called in to investigate. When she finds a rip in Erica’s lifejacket she has a sixth sense that something isn’t right, which Davey (Matt Bardock) dismisses, says that she is over-analysing.

Former Lifeboat volunteer and publican Mick (Ivan Kaye), confides to Jane that not everyone in the crew was happy that Chrissy was promoted to skipper. Mick then narrowly escapes a vicious attack outside his pub, The Black Dog, which appears to be connected to his dodgy deals.

Jane’s hunch pays off when forensics confirm that Erica’s life jacket had indeed been tampered with, but since all of the crew had access they are all suspects. Mick is spooked when he hears someone trying to get into the pub in the middle of the night and wonders if his mind is playing tricks on him.

But when another volunteer, Bob Fountain (Nick Brimble), is shot dead by a spear and Chrissy is knocked off her motorbike it seems like the lifeboat crew are being picked off one by one: but by whom?

Demolition workers at a rundown cottage make a grim discovery when they uncover a baby’s skeleton beneath the rubble. Hidden since the 1970s, Davey (Matt Bardock) thinks there must be foul play involved, but Jane's maternal instincts tell her it’s not that simple.

Tests show that the baby was premature, but there’s a chance they’ll get mitochondrial DNA to check against potential mothers.

All over Lighthaven news is breaking of the discovery and old friends Karen (Adie Allen), Lee (Peter McNeil O’Connor) and Sarah (Elaine Claxton) try to hide their anxiety about what’s been found.

When Jane (Claire Goose) and Davey make enquiries about the former children’s home they lived in, the owner’s son Phil (Dean Williamson) reluctantly provides a photograph from the 70s, showing three teenage girls.

Jane is determined to find out if one of them could be the mother in order to discover why the baby’s remains were hidden in the first place.

Returning for a second series, Coroner Jane Kennedy (Claire Goose) investigates sudden or unexplained deaths in the English costal community of Lighthaven, South Devon, working with her former flame Detective Sergeant Davey Higgins (Matt Bardock).

In South Devon, Chief Instructor Rafe Phelps (David Corbett) is jumping at the skydiving school, The Drop Zone, when his parachutes fails and he dies on impact.

Rafe’s business partner and ex girl-friend Lori Fletcher (Tupele Dorgut) tells Jane and Davey that the parachutes must have been sabotaged. Meanwhile, one of the other skydivers Eddie Landman (Robin Laing) heads to The Black Dog to drown his sorrows and drunkenly reveals to Mick and Judith that he killed his best friend.

Jane finds out that he is not the only person who had a motive and the opportunity to kill. Rafe’s distraught wife Jess (Simone McAullay) begs Jane and Davey to give her some answers.

The question on everyone’s mind is whether someone killed Rafe - or did he do it to himself?
