The stakes are higher than ever in tonight’s headscratching episode of this Caribbean-set crime drama. For his latest case, police detective Neville Parker (Ralf Little, right) is tasked with investigating the curious death of a high-pro social media in uencer (Akshay Kumar), who appears to have been fatally stabbed mid-air while skydiving with a group of colleagues. When the victim is found dead, caught up in a tree with a knife sticking out of his back, Parker gets busy working out who would want him dead. Turns out, the list is rather long, but Parker never fails to methodically narrow down his list of suspects to ensure justice is served.
