Harry

HARRY opens on a melancholy DS Harry Anglesea who arrives back in Auckland from bereavement leave in Samoa to try and solve a brutal and pointless homicide committed by a young Samoan high on "P" - a drug currently infesting the city streets.

Harry's return comes with a 'mask of denial': he is emotionally blocked by his wife Sina's unexpected death and hasn't a clue how to properly deal with it - or with his grieving teenage daughter, Mele, who needs his affection more than ever and misguidedly sees her father as "the cavalry coming to the rescue".

Despite insisting to the world that all is well, Sina's death takes such a toll on Harry (pain, grief, guilt) it forces him into a downwards spiral of drinking, sleepless nights and ever-increasing anger – an anger which will threaten the closest relationships around him. (Source: TV3)
