In the premiere episode of TOP OF THE LAKE (Saturday, July 13 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo), Detective Robin Griffin returns to her small community in New Zealand to care for her mother. Local police enlist Robin, a child protection specialist, to take on the disappearance case of a pregnant 12-year-old girl named Tui. With few clues about her perpetrator, the town’s knot of long-buried secrets begins to unravel and the entire community is under a cloud of suspicion. The chief suspect in the case is Tui’s father, a menacing local figure with a violent past who is also embroiled in a land dispute with a new age women’s encampment. Robin’s investigation heightens tensions in the town and hints at a personal history she hoped to keep a secret.
TOP OF THE LAKE also stars David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings) and Lucy Lawless (XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS), who has a cameo role as the estranged wife of a real estate agent who crosses drug lord Matt Mitchum.
TOP OF THE LAKE is produced by Academy Award®-winners Emile Sherman and Iain Canning (The King’s Speech, Shame), and Philippa Campbell (Black Sheep). Executive Producer is Christian Vesper (Restless). TOP OF THE LAKE is a See-Saw Films production in association with Screen Australia, Screen NSW and Fulcrum Media Finance for BBC Two, Sundance Channel, UKTV and BBC Worldwide.
