From the Australian broadcaster’s website:

A body is found in a Bondi beachfront apartment. Is this brutal murder a domestic, a robbery gone wrong or something far more sinister?

In the 1980s and 1990s a wave of murders bloodied the idyllic coastline of Sydney’s eastern suburbs. There were 80 murders, 30 unsolved cases and thousands of assaults. The victims: young homosexual men.

Deep Water is SBS’s new four-part drama series inspired by these true events, recontextualised to be set in contemporary Bondi, and featuring a stellar cast of Australian actors.

When the body of a young man is found in a beachfront apartment in Bondi, Detectives Tori Lustigman (Yael Stone) and Nick Manning (Noah Taylor) are assigned the case. Is this brutal murder a domestic, a robbery gone wrong or something far more sinister?

As other ritualistic murders occur, they discover the killer is using a social networking app to entice his victims. Anyone using the app is now at risk, and it's a race against the clock to catch the serial killer before he strikes again.

With mounting evidence to suggest the perpetrator has killed before, Tori and Nick start digging through old investigations. The discovery is shocking. They uncover up to 80 possible murders of men that took place in the 80s and 90s in NSW – unexplained deaths, ‘suicides’ and disappearances. Haunted by the disappearance of her teenage brother, Tori’s fascination with the case soon turns to fixation.

Also from the Australian broadcaster’s website, regarding the cast and crew:

True crimes of the past rise to the surface as SBS launches the network event Deep Water, unearthing a gripping true crime story and a buried chapter of Australia’s recent history.

Directed by Shawn Seet (Peter Allen: Not The Boy Next Door) and written by Kris Wyld (East West 101) and Kym Goldsworthy (Love Child, Serangoon Road) the drama unfolds when detectives Tori Lustigman, played by Yael Stone (Orange in the New Black) and Nick Manning, played by Noah Taylor (Game of Thrones) are assigned to a brutal murder case. Lustigman and Manning begin to uncover mounting evidence to suggest the killing is connected to a spate of unexplained deaths, “suicides” and disappearances throughout the 80s and 90s. Is this the result of shoddy police work, indifference, or something far more sinister.

Deep Water was broadcast on BBC4 between November 12, 2016 and November 19, 2016.
