The warm-hearted police drama set on the stunning Ulster coastline is back. Port Devine’s new detective, the mysterious Jo Lipton, hits the ground running when she drives into an armed prison break. As she takes control of the situation, Jo makes quite the impression – especially on Constable Callum McCarthy. Inspector Finn O’Hare has never felt closer to his mum Concepta as they do a charity bungee jump together – until his wife Siobhan forces Concepta to tell him the truth. At the Commodore bar, Nicole and Clint are bonding with nephew JJ. As fire takes hold of the pub, however, they might regret asking the supposedly reformed arsonist to light a whole load of candles.
